Primary Essentials Membership
Cute resources are not enough when your classroom systems are missing.
Primary Essentials helps PreK–2 teachers build the behind-the-scenes support that makes the school day run smoother.
Get ready-to-use classroom management tools, SEL supports, fine motor activities, visual supports, and relationship-building resources for the moments your curriculum does not cover.
So instead of starting from scratch every time your class needs more structure, you’ll already have the tools ready.
If this sounds like your classroom, you’re in the right place
Primary Essentials was built for the parts of teaching that drain your time, test your patience, and decide how the rest of the day goes.
You need more than curriculum
Your curriculum tells you what to teach.
But it does not always give you the visuals, routines, SEL support, behavior tools, and fine motor activities that help your classroom actually function.
That is where Primary Essentials comes in.
You’re tired of piecing everything together
You do not have time to search Pinterest, download random freebies, organize scattered files, and hope it all works together.
You need one place with ready-to-use classroom support tools that are simple to grab, easy to use, and made for PreK–2.
You want your classroom to feel smoother
You want fewer repeated directions.
You want students to understand routines.
You want support for big feelings, transitions, centers, independence, and the little moments that can throw off the whole day.
Primary Essentials gives you practical tools to help those moments feel more manageable.

Simple tools for helping students name feelings, solve small problems, ask for help, practice kindness, and build stronger connections with you and their classmates.
Fine Motor Activities
Hands-on activities that help students build the small muscle skills they need for cutting, coloring, tracing, writing, and working independently.
Community Access
A built-in support space where you can ask questions, get updates, see what’s new, and stay connected as you build stronger classroom systems

See What’s Waiting Inside
These are the tools that help you stop repeating the same directions, rebuilding the same systems, and searching for support every time your classroom needs more structure.
Slides for Teaching Classroom Routines & Procedures

Routines & Procedures Game Show

Visual center rotation slides that help students know where to go, what group they are in, and how to move through centers with less confusion.
SEL Morning Meeting Slides
Daily SEL slides that help students talk about feelings, practice problem-solving, build classroom community, and start the day with simple social-emotional support.
Year-Long Morning Meeting Slides
Ready-to-use morning meeting slides that help you start each day with structure, consistency, and predictable routines without building slides from scratch.
Fine Motor Activities
Hands-on fine motor activities that give students practice with play dough, pom-poms, pattern blocks, dot markers, Q-tip painting, directed drawing, and other skills they need for everyday classroom tasks.
The part that comes before everything else
The gap this membership fills
Curriculum tells you what to teach.
But it does not always show you how to make the school day actually work.
Primary Essentials gives you the practical tools for the parts of teaching that often get skipped: routines, behavior support, emotional regulation, classroom relationships, fine motor practice, and visual systems students can actually follow.
So whether you’re a new teacher who needs a starting point or an experienced teacher trying to reach a different group of students, you’ll have support for building a calmer, more connected, more manageable classroom.

1. What is Primary Essentials?
Primary Essentials is a membership for PreK–2 teachers who want practical classroom support without having to create or search for everything themselves.
Inside, you’ll find ready-to-use tools for routines, behavior support, SEL, relationship-building, fine motor practice, and visual supports that help the school day run smoother.
2. What kinds of resources are included?
You’ll find classroom management slides, routines and procedures tools, SEL morning meeting slides, visual supports, relationship-building activities, fine motor activities, printables, interactive games, and seasonal classroom support resources.
The focus is not random extras. The focus is tools that help with the real moments that can make the day feel harder than it needs to.
3. Is this membership focused on academic resources?
No. Primary Essentials is focused on non-academic classroom support.
You may see some resources that support learning routines or classroom participation, but the main focus is routines, behavior, SEL, fine motor development, relationships, visual supports, and classroom systems.
4. Who is this membership for?
Primary Essentials is for PreK–2 teachers, intervention teachers, support staff, and homeschool educators who want the school day to feel more organized, more predictable, and easier to manage.
It is especially helpful if you are tired of piecing together visuals, routines, SEL tools, and classroom support resources from different places.

You’ll be able to ask questions, see updates, connect with other PreK–2 teachers, and stay in the loop as new resources are added.

What Current Classroom Teachers Are Saying
"These slides have been the perfect tool for our "Walk to Learn" centers when students rotate amongst classrooms. We start this after Winter Break, so this is the perfect bundle!"
Emily S.
"I have really found these are easy to use and edit. I love this resource. Thank you for make this resource so much more then I thought there would be."
Jill H.
"I really was not expecting this to be that helpful... I was genuinely surprised at how my kids responded to these. Having slides to go over behavior expectations as they come up has been incredible - it was just that little bit of consistent and visual direction needed to curb the chaos and provide much more peace in my K4/K5 classroom."
"What a phenomenal resource! This is my first year teaching Kindergarten and could not have done it without these resource slides to get started with!"
The Happy Desk on TpT
"I was placed in kinder 3 weeks into the year. This has been amazing to get me caught up!"
