February 2006: Rodolfo Castillo

"I teach at Palm Avenue School; I've been teaching for five years.
This is my first year in fifth grade and I have enjoyed it; like I said they are at that age where I think they can go on to the next level.
The best thing about Palm Avenue School? I would say the students; we have some great students.
Believe in the magic, in the magic of learning, that's what I tell them, that they have to believe in themselves.  And it takes the magic, and their magic as well as mine; we combine it together and it works.
Help their children as much as they can, listen to them, work with them.
It takes everybody, it takes the students, teachers, parents, administrators to work together so they can teach the students the most that they can learn."
