Hello, my name is Mrs. Tricia Blackwell and I am a Kindergarten teacher at Lexington Creek Elementary.  In the past 25 years, I have taught Kindergarten, first grade, second grade and Reading Recovery. 

I received my teaching credentials from Stephen F. Austin State University in 1992.  I am a native Texan and I enjoy reading, traveling, and spending time with my family. I have two teenagers, a dog and a wonderful husband. I consider myself an organized, hard-working, and dedicated teacher who puts great effort into preparing my lessons while using several teaching strategies to keep students focused and interested. I am a caring and patient teacher who works well with students of various backgrounds and learning capabilities. 

My goal is to develop independent readers and writers who believe in themselves as lifelong learners. I believe all children can learn and if we ALL work together for the success of each student.
