Hello Superstar Second Graders, Friends, Parents, and Families!
My name is Alyssa Rodriguez and I am so excited to be your second grade teacher for the 2021-2022 school year! I look forward to the growth that each of you will make in our classroom, and all of the new things you will teach me as well!
This will be my fourth year teaching, and my fourth year in second grade and I am ecstatic that I get to share this experience with each of you! I graduated in May of 2018 from the University of South Florida with a Bachelors degree in Elementary Education - Go Bulls!
It has been a lifelong dream of mine to follow in my moms footsteps and become a teacher. A dream that I am now living! My mom is a Pre-K & kindergarten teacher and has been teaching since 1992 - she is my biggest inspiration and role model.
Last year, I became a fur-mommy to my puppies Kaya & Remy. Kaya is 1.5 years old - I raised her from a puppy; she's full of energy, spunk, and sass! She loves to cuddle, eat peanut butter, dig in the dirt, annoy her brother, and play with her squeaky toys. :) Remy is 3.5 years old and was adopted; he's mischievous, grumpy, but oh so lovable. He loves to cuddle with me, play with his favorite toys, and eat all the food!
Please do not ever hesitate to contact me about anything - I believe in open communication. My classroom door and my email are always open to you!
