Marcos RicoHello everyone,
My name is Marcos Rico. I was born and raised in Tijuana, Baja California, Mexico. Immigrated to the U.S.A. in 1993, (10th grade).
I currently teach 4th grade at The Language Academy in San Diego. Our school is a Magnet school, we have students from all over the world. It is an interesting mix of different cultures and languages. Our two biliteracy programs are French/ English and Spanish/ English. People are often surprised when they find out that I am part of the French program.
I will be starting my 19th year at San Diego Unified School District. One of my favorite grades is 4 grade. California history is a complex and intereresting topic to teach. This is my third school in the district, and I have had the pleasure of teaching different grades such as 2, 3, 4, 5 and even a 4/5 combo. I am glad that I will be staying at the USC hotel.
