Jenny
Rodriguez-
6th Grade
teacher
 My
name is
Jenny
Rodriguez.
I am not
only a
teacher
here at
Corpus
Christi but
also a
graduate. I
attended
this school
from grades
1-8. I had
many
wonderful
teachers. As
a child I
always loved
helping the
teacher and
the students
in whatever
way I could.
Becoming a
teacher was
always in
the back of
my mind but
it was not
until I was
in fifth
grade that I
was finally
convinced .
I had a new
teacher that
year. Even
though she
only stayed
in the
school for
that school
year, she
had an
incredible
impact in my
life. Ms.
Lyon was
strict but
fair. She
was very
creative and
fun. She
would speak
to the class
in German,
which we
thought was
cool. She
was caring,
nurturing
and very
supportive.
Everything I
felt as a
child
because of
her, I want
my students
to feel.
I want my
students to
all feel
special. I
want to
celebrate
their
talents and
encourage
them to do
their best.
I don't want
them to
compete with
each other
but with
themselves.
If you
believe it,
you can
achieve it
was my motto
last year
with the
kids. I want
the children
to feel
comfortable
in my
classroom. I
begin and
end my day
with a hug.
That I got
from another
great
teacher,
Sister Mary.
I try to
include many
projects in
all the
subjects. I
do not
believe that
children are
graded only
on test. The
projects
give them a
chance to
shine a
different
way. They
get to show
other
talents they
might
possess.
They write
their own
plays and
act them
out. They
are also
acts to draw
or create
something
pertaining
to the
material
that's been
covered in
class. Not
only do they
find it fun
but so do I.
I try to
make
learning fun
but at the
same time,
disciple is
something I
stress in
class. I let
the children
know from
day one what
I expect
from them. I
consider
homework to
be just as
important as
class work.
All of the
subjects are
essential
and I try to
incorporate
religion in
one way or
another into
all
of the
subjects.
Why am I a
teacher? I
love to see
the spark in
a child's
eye when
they finally
get
something
that they
had been
struggling
with. I want
to have a
positive
influence in
their lives
the way Ms.
Lyon had on
me. In my
classroom,
we are a
family. We
encourage
each other
to do our
best. I love
children. I
want the
children to
feel safe
and
confident.
This helps
them to
excel. If
you feel
like a
winner,
you'll be a
winner.
