Welcome!
My name is Katie Byrd and I am a first grade teacher in a public school. I am so glad you are here! This is my personal teaching website to share classroom ideas, freebies, and resources with other teachers. I have been teaching for over 20 years and I LOVE little learners! I also love creating engaging and developmentally appropriate learning experiences for my students. I share loads of free ideas and downloads here. I also share paid resources which can be purchased in my store on Teachers Pay Teachers. My goal is to support other teachers and save their valuable time. I hope you enjoy your visit to Mrs. Byrd’s Learning Tree and that you find something helpful.
Thanks for stopping by!

I occasionally recommend books or other products that I have personally used because I think they are helpful to other teachers. I am not paid for recommending any products. However, I do provide affiliate links to Amazon.com and if you purchase a product using that link I will receive a very small percentage of your purchase at no cost to to you.
I do not collect your name or email address unless you choose to provide it. I occasionally send out emails with ideas, information on new products, promotional events, and FREEBIES. If you provide your email address to me and later decide you do not want to receive emails you may unsubscribe at any time. I use Hello Bar to collect your name and email address and I use Mail Chimp to send out the emails.
