About Mrs. Renz

Hi there, I’m Heather, a retired teacher from Oregon, now living in Vermont, with 34+ years of experience mostly with 4th and 5th grades and middle school math. I love helping other teachers!

I’ve always said, “Teachers work way too hard not to share what works with others.” Since around the year 2000, I’ve been helping make teachers’ jobs easier by sharing what worked for me in my classroom.

I also have an Etsy shop called, Mrs. Renz Designs, with Bunco party sets. www.etsy.com/shop/MrsRenzDesigns
