In this video, I’m sharing a realistic day in my life as a Montessori teacher — from creating handwriting extensions in Canva, to preparing classroom materials, to working on my reselling business after school. This isn’t a perfectly curated routine. It’s an honest look at how I move between teaching, creating materials for children, and building multiple streams of income as an educator.
You’ll see:
-How I create handwriting extensions that connect vocabulary, images, and real classroom work
-A look at Montessori shelf setup and material extensions
-How I batch-create classroom resources in Canva
-Behind-the-scenes of my clothing reselling workflow
-How I think about work–life balance as a teacher (realistically) If you’re a teacher trying to make teaching sustainable — financially, creatively, and emotionally — you’re not alone.
š I also write honestly about teaching, burnout, and work–life balance on Substack (linked below).
Let me know in the comments if you want to see more classroom walkthroughs or behind-the-scenes of how I build materials.

Are you needing some support with how to structure your classroom? As a Montessori teacher, I understand that feeling of overwhelm! I have created a detailed lesson plan to 'hold your hand' through each day. These lesson plans can either be used to jump start how to create the rhythm of the classroom (monthly) or I have a full year plan that can then be used for a 3 year cycle.
