There is power in creative learning! This creatED site seems like the perfect place to share ideas and learn from others one swirl of color and a dose of inspiration at a time!
My favorite color is Crayola's Tropical Rainforest Green! My eductional journey began when I was 5 years old. I would teach my dolls and stuffed friends how to read and complete math problems. I was really good at the odd numbered problems, especially since the answers were in the back of the teachers manual that I had gotten from a thrift store with my mom! As an educator, my career has fluctuated a bit, from teaching Pre-K- 3rd, to educating Exceptional Student Education K-12 and currently teaching in an amazing Kindergarten classroom.
I have always been a Crayola fan! From my first Crayola crayon to my most recent set of Crayola dry erase markers, the Crayola brand is amazing! I truly feel that creativity and learning go hand in hand. With my husband being a Scholastic Author and Illustrator for the book series,
Third Grade Mermaid, and the way we create learning pages, to my teaching of standards in lessons at the Celebration K-8 School, we believe in the power of creativity and the fact that education and the fostering of creative minds go hand in hand.
With this colorful creatED educator community I hope to inspire others just by sharing my passion for the arts and education and learn from others beliefs in teaching. We can all collaborate and share ideas to build each other up and extend the passion for creatively influencing others, especially students.
Moving forward, it is my desire to share all positive vibes and ideas from this online creatED community to help share ideas and inspire everyone who come to this site!
Lastly, my favorite quote is inspired from Mark Twain, basically, If you find something you love to do, then you will never work a day in your life!
Looking forward to a creatively inspired adventure on the education trail with this site filled with fellow educators and creative minded people!

Subject: Introduce Yourself!
Hello everyone!
I'm Annie, your Platform Manager. I am looking forward to getting to know everyone and being a resource should you run into any questions. Feel free to send me a message here or email me at amoncure@crayola.com if I can be of any assistance.
Since this is such a big group, I thought we might take some time to introduce ourselves!
I'll kick us off: My favorite color is blue. I have been in Project Management/Member Experience roles for close to 5 years. The best career advice I have ever received is don't be afraid to try something new; the only way to continue growing professionally is to take risks and continually challenge yourself.
Now it's your turn!
We can't wait to learn more about who you are, what you do, your favorite color, and your journey into the world of education. Consider also sharing:
- Why creative teaching and learning matters to you.
- How you see yourself influencing this learning community.
- Ways you think this community will influence how you approach teaching going forward.
