Passionate International Educator | PYP Specialist
Originally from Chile, I have been working in Italy as an elementary teacher for over two years. With 8 years of experience in international schools following the PYP methodology, I am dedicated to fostering inquiry-based learning and creating engaging educational experiences.

Education: I hold a bachelor's Degree as an Elementary Teacher from  Universidad de los Andes, Santiago, Chile.
Passion for Creating Materials: I love designing resources tailored to my students' diverse needs and levels! Customizing materials allows me to differentiate instruction and provide meaningful support for every learner.

What I Love About Teaching: Witnessing my students' progress and those incredible "wow" moments when learning truly clicks. Seeing their growth is my greatest motivation!

I recently decided to open an instagram account showing my life as a teacher and to display how I use the materials that I have created! I have realized that this is about trial and error!

Science is more fun when it's hands on! I used this worksheet as a hands on activity to teach my students about the density of the molecules in each matter type. To add extra fun, we used tissue paper but drawing circles would work as well!
¡La ciencia es más divertida cuando se aprende usando las manos! Utilicé esta hoja de trabajo como una actividad práctica para enseñar a mis estudiantes sobre la densidad de las moléculas en cada tipo de materia. Para añadir diversión extra, usamos papel de seda pero dibujar círculos funcionaría también!

This UFLI Foundations Aligned irregular heart word mat is the perfect way to review and consolidate those tricky sight words after direct instruction in the classroom. Reading, spelling, fine motor skills and sentence writing are all targeted in this 
activity.
 You can print the heart words, students can place 
them on the mat and follow the instructions.
 Put the mat in a plastic document bag to use it several times.
 You could also print the heart word cards and create a memory game. The game starts with all the cards face down and players take turns to turn over two cards.
 If they can find the same word and read it, they get to keep the cards!
 The person with the most cards at the end of the game will be the winner!
