Hello I'm Jeremy Sayers.

My first blog was meant to connect with and provide resources for students and parents in the 2nd-grade class I was teaching. 

EdThings.com is an extension of that first site.  There are many math resources and worksheets on this site, along with articles related to the field of education. 

I have been an elementary school teacher for over 20 years. In 2023 I was honored to be named as an LAUSD Teacher of the Year. Thank you for visiting. I hope this site is helpful to you.
