Experience
Welcome to my store! I'm Tricia and I create resources for the upper elementary classroom. I am an English as a New Language teacher and a former 5th grade general education teacher. I believe lessons and activities should be fun and engaging for all students. Language learning is my favorite and I have many writing activities to enhance your lessons, as well as, other subjects. Browse through my store using the "Store Categories" feature under my featured resources. Happy teaching!
Teaching style
My teaching style includes a structured setting with clear expectations. I believe it is important for all students to be able to interact with the teacher and one another. Students need to be exposed to lessons in a variety of ways, such as visually, technologically, and hands-on learning.
My own education history
I have been fortunate to have experience in a range of grade levels from 2nd to 5th grade over the course of 9 years. The majority of my years in the classroom I have spent as a 5th-grade teacher and more recently as an ENL teacher! Some years my classroom has been general education, while in others it has been a co-teach classroom, including special education students, as well as, ENL students. I have a bachelor's degree in elementary education with a concentration in Spanish. My master's degree was completed for TESOL. (Teaching English to Speakers of Other Languages) I have also enjoyed working with students one-on-one for tutoring sessions, ranging from elementary to middle school.
Additional biographical information
“Live life with a passion.” This has been a favorite quote of mine since I saw it on a small pouch I received as a little girl. I can still see the letters etched out with a tiny red heart below it. From that moment to today, it has inspired me to apply feeling and enthusiasm into anything I undertake, from my personal life to my career. I am married with a beautiful baby boy. I enjoy doing things at home, such as, reading, cooking, yoga, and spending time with family. Another great interest of mine is music, where I play the guitar and dabble with the ukulele and piano. My variety of interests had led me to study education, since being a teacher incorporates a diverse set of topics and skills.
