Biography
Cindy Rodríguez is a Dual Language Teacher from Chicago, Illinois. Cindy grew up in her mother's hair salon and has spent her summers on her grandmothers farm in Jalisco, México. She is the proud mom of a bilingual toddler. When she's not chasing her son around the yard, she's cooking up new allergy friendly recipes, catching up with friends or doing zumba at home with her family. Cindy has an undergraduate degree in Bilingual/Bicultural Education from Northeastern Illinois University and a Master's Degree in Reading from Concordia University. Currently, she is a K/1 Dual Language Teacher in Illinois. She has been teaching for 12 years in Bilingual/Dual Language education with experience in Kindergarten, 1st and 3rd grade. Cindy is a certified Reading Specialist and uses her knowledge about literacy to improve her craft as a Dual Language Teacher. Her experience as a split teacher has given her the ability to be able to differentiate for a diverse group of multilingual learners. It was through her struggle as a Dual Language teacher that she created her own resources to help her young learners access fun and engaging materials. In 2010, Cindy carried all of her resources in a purple hand-me-down crate to her grade level meetings. She wanted to share with other teammates who were also looking for student friendly materials. Her principal said, "Hey look! There's Cindy's Bilingual Box." Her TPT store came out of a need to find engaging materials for her students. In the summer of 2011, Cindy's Bilingual Box was created. Cindy's products include Dual Language Units, math, phonics and assessment products. Connect with Cindy Online: TeachersPayTeachers Instagram Facebook
