Welcome to Mrs. Rodriguez’s Page

We are back! I am so glad to welcome everyone to Southwest Preparatory School Northwest Campus. It is wonderful to have you all here. If you are a returning student, Welcome to our 2nd Grade class. For those who are new to our school and district- thanks for choosing us. This is my 9th year at this district and I love working with this team. I love being around my favorite people (including our students). This is my second year in second grade and I know it is going to be amazing! I will do my very best to help all my students succeed academically and be ready for the next grade. Here’s just a little bit about me. I have three children ( all adults), four grandchildren (one more on the way) and 1 dog. I have been married to my husband, Armando for 37 years. I am known for sharing stories of all my loved ones and including them into math story problems. I was not sure what I wanted to be when I grew up. I thought that being a mom was the most fun I could have with little people. As my kids started getting older, I took a chance and became interested in going back to college. I got a bit worried when I realized math was different. Nevertheless, I enrolled, started taking courses and met some great professors. I graduated from Texas A&M University San Antonio in 2012 with a Bachelor of Science in Interdisciplinary Studies. (Just fancy words to say I am certified to teach all subjects in the elementary level.) I discovered that teaching elementary school was the third best way to enjoy life! (Second is being a grandmother) I love to use cooking to bring learning to life and I totally believe that once you share what you’ve learned, you will never forget it. Here's to a new year of growing, learning and making terrific memories.
