“Education is the most powerful weapon which you can use to change the world”

Nelson Mandela

Hey, there!

Hey, there!

My name is Ariana and I live in Colorado Springs. I was born in California but relocated at a young age to Colorado. I am a native Spanish speaker and received a bachelor’s degree in Spanish. I have taught Spanish from Elementary level to college level. I have worked for Pearson and have published a bilingual book.

I like to create resources for Elementary levels because I tutor and teach summer school to Elementary aged kids. I also have a toddler that benefits from these creations. For this reason, you can also see History and other languages as part of my sources since I teach practically all subjects for these kiddos. 

I have added Speech resources to my repertoire because I am the mother of an Autistic child. Many times, I don’t see what I want to work on with him, so I simply create it! I decided to start sharing these creations so that other teachers and parents can have Access to them.

Lastly, I am neurodivergent myself so sticking to one subject would not suit me correctly. I feel like I can offer a diverse number of activities and concepts to teachers and parents.
