Build a Better Website

My Website Journey

The original:

I received negative feedback on this website while I was teaching 5th grade. The words were too small, the colors made it hard to read, and the important information was hard to find.

The updated:

I took the critique and changed up what I did. The website looked better but I did not find it useful for my own class and so I rarely updated it.

New and improved:

Since it had been a while since I had touched my website, and I didn't like my old website anyway, I created a new one. It looks better and feels better too!
