My Roots
My Name is Cynthia Rondon and this is my sixth year at Kent Elementary teaching Bilingual and ESL Pre-K.
My Roots
I was born in New York but my family
comes from the Dominican Republic. Even though I was not born there if
anyone asks me where I am from my answer will be "from the Dominican Republic".
I love spending time with my Family eating Traditional Dominican Food and
Dancing Merengue
, Salsa, Bachata....You name it we dance it!!!
My Family
I am married, my husbands name is Luis and he also is from the Dominican Republic. We have two beautiful daughters Ashleigh who is 11 and Isabella who is 6. They Both attend Kent Elementary. My Parents, brother and one sister live in New York and my oldest sister lives in the Dominican Republic.
My Education
and Work Experience
I attended Iona College in New Rochelle, NY. I received a BS in Elementary Education. I taught for the Dallas Independent School District for 7 years and then came to Carrollton-Farmers Branch ISD 3years ago. I taught at the 5th(1yr.),2nd (1yr.)and Kindergarten (3yrs.)levels, then taught Descubriendo La Lectura (Bilingual Reading Recovery)(3yrs.). I have been at Kent Elementary for the past 6 years teaching Pre-K. All of my years of teaching have been teaching in a Bilingual Classroom. By being Bilingual my self I have learned the importance and benefits that knowing two languages brings each person. I love teaching bilingual and ESL children and its a joy for me to see how each little person is able to communicate in more than one language.
