Welcome to 3rd Grade! My name is Nicole Rodriguez and I am very excited to embark on my second year at Saint Anne's School.  
Catholic education has played a very important part of my life.
 Growing up, I attended Holy Family Regional School, where my relationship with Jesus began. In 2011, I graduated from St. John the Baptist Diocesan High School, where I was able to put my faith into action by attending mission trips and sharing the love of Jesus. My faith continues to deepen every day and I look forward to bringing the love of Jesus into your child's heart.
In 2016, I graduated from St. Joseph's College dual degree program (General and Special education) with a bachelor's degree in Child Study. While attending college, I was an ABA paraprofessional in the Dix Hills School District, working in the Intensive Program for Children for students with Autism for several years. Throughout my student teaching experience, I have had the pleasure of teaching K-4th grade. Last year, I acquired a 2nd-grade leave replacement as the Special education teacher in an IPC classroom. I am currently pursuing my master's degree in Literacy at St. Joseph's College. In December 2019, I joined St. Anne's family! Teaching is my absolute passion and I am so blessed to be your child's teacher this year.

My goals this year:

• To assist students in becoming avid readers and enthusiastic learners

• To provide students with the skills they need to become successful in mathematics 

• To provide a nurturing and supportive classroom for your child

• To aid students in becoming independent thinkers and proficient writers

• To integrate individualized teaching styles

• To challenge my students to be the best person they can be

• To teach and model the actions and love of Jesus!
