Hello, my name is Kathleen Rodriguez. I was born in Las Vegas, Nevada, but have lived in the San Fernando Valley for the majority of my life. I am a graduate of Cal State University, Northridge. I married my college sweetheart who is also a teacher.

I love teaching at Dearborn Elementary School. I teach Kindergarten in Room 2 and enjoy every minute of it. I find that even though I am the teacher, I am the one continuously doing the learning. In the short time that I have been in the classroom my students have brought new insight into my life. They have taught me that each day is a new beginning and a new opportunity to be a better person. They have also showed me that life is much more enjoyable if you laugh and not take yourself so seriously. So to my kindergarten class I would like to say thank you for making each day an enjoyable one.
