Are you an upper elementary teacher looking for resources and ideas that will save you time and get students excited about learning? Welcome to Vestal’s 21st Century Classroom!
How It All Began…
I’m Meghan Vestal, a former upper-elementary teacher with a passion for helping teachers and transforming classrooms with hands-on,
A few years ago, I was forced to leave the classroom after being diagnosed with a serious medical condition. At the time, I was completely bedridden and unable to walk. The one thing I could do was sit in bed and create digital resources for other teachers. At that time, I decided to make it my life’s purpose to help other teachers save time and find exciting ways to engage students.
Since then, Vestal’s 21st Century Classroom has grown to help thousands of upper elementary teachers transform their classrooms with hands-on learning and digital resources that incorporate the twenty-first century skills students need to succeed! Teachers who have used my resources say they saved time planning and that their students were engaged.
Publications and Recognitions
In addition to developing upper elementary and middle school resources that I sell through my store, I also create curriculum, assessments, and textbooks that have been published through educational companies such as Pearson, McGraw Hill, Interactive Achievement, and Amco.
I have also published the following nonfiction children’s books:
- Geology for Kids: A Junior Scientist’s Guide to Rocks, Minerals, and the Earth Beneath Our Feet
- Geology Activity Book for Kids: Hands-On Fun Exploring Rocks, Minerals, and the Earth’s Surface
- Bold Women in History: 15 Women’s Rights Activists You Should Know
My educational programming has also received recognition from the U.S. Congress, the Institute of Museum and Library Services, and former First Lady Michelle Obama.
