Our Life in the Classroom
My Journey
Reflections and milestones by Mrs. Rios
As a bilingual kindergarten teacher, I’ve learned that the most meaningful learning happens in the small, everyday moments we share in the classroom. “Our Life in the Classroom” is a window into those moments where joy, challenge, discovery, and growth happen side by side.
This space is not just about my journey as an educator, but about the experiences I share with my students as we explore, ask questions, take risks, and grow together. Here you’ll find reflections, ideas, and practical strategies that show how learning comes to life through technology, creativity, and heart.
Welcome to our classroom story.
Feel free to explore, reflect, and grow with me. Let’s reimagine learning together.
Mrs. Rios


“We do not learn from experience… we learn from reflecting on experience.”
