Hey there, I’m Tina

I’m the founder of Teach the TK Way™ and the creator of the Rooted in Wonder Science Curriculum.

I’ve spent years teaching TK and PreK students, leading nature-based classrooms, and helping educators all over the country blend play, standards, and curiosity in ways that actually work.

I created this guide because I know exactly how it feels to:

  • Be handed a boxed curriculum that looks great on paper but flops in real life.

  • Want to give your students hands-on science experiences—but not have hours to prep.

  • Crave more joy and wonder in your teaching, while still checking all the boxes.

This free play-based science scope and sequence PDF is your permission slip to do science differently: rooted in nature, aligned to standards, and designed for real classrooms.
