My son is always excited to go to class. When I pick him up from school, he has something in his hand...I asked him what is it? He says it's something Mr Rodriguez gave us. He's really nice. Beyond the nice little gifts, Mr Rodrgiuez creates an environment that encourages my son to learn...to feel optimistic that even though he has a hard time understanding the concepts, his teacher is dedicated to his success. I'm beyond grateful to Mr Rodriguez for that.
