Class Experience

US Grade 3 - 5
In this follow-up to "Having Fun with Colorful Idioms," students will learn a variety of idioms, such as clothing idioms, i.e., "give someone the shirt off your back;" action-verb idioms, i.e., "drive you up the wall;" and body-part idioms, i.e., "have a sweet tooth," just to name a few.  Through discussion and games, students will gain a deeper understanding about how idioms are a type of figurative language where the intended meaning of the phrase is different from the literal meaning.  Students will apply this knowledge as they create their own short story using these idioms. They will be given an opportunity to share their story.

Teacher expertise and credentials
Master's Degree from George Mason University
Hello Everyone.  My name is Trojanna Fields.  I have been an educator since 2006, including working in childcare; teaching in a homeschool group; teaching science to middle school students in summer school; elementary/middle school teacher in the Maryland Public School system, and, currently, as an online educator in reading/language arts for learners ages 5-14.

I have a Bachelor of Science Degree in Psychology and a Master of Arts Degree in Teaching.

I love helping students build their reading, writing, grammar, and vocabulary skills, including figurative language, through music, stories, and plays.
