👋 MEET THE TEACHER

Hi, I’m Christina!

Teacher → Creator → Your Planning BFF

I’m a middle school social studies teacher who knows what it’s like to juggle a million things and still want lessons that truly land.

That’s why I create engaging, classroom-tested resources that save teachers time, spark meaningful discussion, and help middle schoolers feel successful.

How It All Started

I still remember walking across the stage at Montclair State University—equal parts excited and nervous—holding tight to the dream of having my own classroom.

Once that dream became real, I quickly learned how hard it was to find high-quality resources that were rigorous, relevant, engaging, and realistically doable on a busy teacher schedule.

So I began creating the kinds of lessons I wanted to teach. When they helped my students—and saved my sanity—I started sharing them with teachers like you. Christina’s Classroom Creations grew from that mix of necessity, creativity, and a genuine desire to make teaching a little easier.

From Teacher to Resource Creator

Three moments that shaped Christina’s Classroom Creations.

01

Found My Classroom

I began teaching middle schoolers with big personalities, bigger questions, and endless potential.

02

Built What I Needed

I created practical lessons with clear structure, meaningful rigor, and real-world connections.

03

Started Sharing

I opened my TPT store and this site to help other busy teachers reclaim planning time.

What I Believe

The best resources support the teacher and the student at the same time.
