Remember: When you support a small business, you directly support those working hard to bring you a meaningful product. You’re supporting a dream, a family. This is my small business and every dime I make goes directly into making my dream a reality. Every link you click, each purchase you make, helps me continue to bring you more of the content you care about. Thank you for supporting this venture of mine! I hope to continue to create for you for years to come.
When you buy from a small business, an actual person does a happy dance.

Samantha in Secondary is run by an educator who is passionate about bringing you content to help you improve your teaching practice, provide you with new and exciting ideas for your classroom, introduce you to other educators, and encourage you to engage in self-care to become a happier, more balanced educator. According to Federal Trade Commission (FTC) guidelines, I am required to disclose any affiliate relationships that are financially beneficial to me. I’d do that anyway, though, because I want you to know that I sometimes benefit from your activity on this site!
In some of my posts, I utilize “affiliate links.” This means if you click on a link through the post and purchase the item, I receive a small affiliate commission. While I enjoy creating content, running a blog takes a lot of hard work, and when you purchase through affiliate links on this site, it helps me continue to build my brand and bring you more and even better content!
According to the Amazon affiliates program policy, I am required to let you know that Samantha in Secondary is a participant in the Amazon Services LLC Associates Program, an affiliate advertising program designed to provide a means for sites to earn advertising fees by advertising and linking to www.amazon.com.
Each post that contains affiliate links will have a brief disclaimer at the beginning of the post letting you know that they are being used. Please know that I only link or recommend products, resources, or services that I have personally used and endorse wholeheartedly. I share them here because I truly believe that they will benefit you in your classroom or make your life easier!
