Welcome to Ms. Rodriguez's Classroom!

My name is Ms. Rodriguez, and I am so excited to be part of your child's educational journey. I believe that every child deserves a classroom where they feel safe, valued, encouraged, and inspired to learn. My goal is to create a positive and nurturing learning environment where students feel confident exploring new ideas, asking questions, making mistakes, and celebrating their growth.

 

I graduated from William Paterson University with a bachelor's degree in Elementary Education and English Literature. I have 8 years of teaching experience, including teaching fifth grade before making the exciting transition to first grade! Teaching has taught me that every child brings something special into the classroom. 

 

- I speak both English and Spanish.

- I enjoy spending time outdoors, especially at the beach or a hiking trail. 

- I love yoga, painting, cooking, and anything that explores mindfulness.

- I am a proud pet parent to two cats and a dog!

- I grew up in Queens, NY.

 

 

I believe that a strong partnership between home and school is an important part of every child's success. Thank you for trusting me to be a part of your child's learning journey. I look forward to a wonderful school year filled with laughter, discovery, growth, and unforgettable memories!
