First Grade Teachers

Mrs. Teresa Bodolay

My name is Teresa Bodolay and I am proud to be part of the first grade team at Tarpon Fundamental. I earned a bachelor’s degree from the University of Central Florida and a master’s degree from the University of Florida.  This will be my eleventh year teaching full-time at Tarpon Fundamental. I was the reading intervention teacher at Tarpon Fundamental from the 2012 through the 2015 school year. I truly enjoy working with students and watching them learn and grow as young scholars.

On a personal note, my three children attended and graduated from Tarpon Fundamental. I enjoy family time and spending time outdoors.

Ms. Shannon McConville

My name is Shannon McConville and I have been teaching at Tarpon Fundamental for 25 years. I have taught 1st and 2nd grade at our school and I truly enjoy teaching the little ones! Each year, I look forward to watching the growth of my students as learners and as young people. I also believe that I can help develop their self-esteem by praising their hard work, gifts, and talents. I feel that I learn so much from my students each year about how to grow as a teacher and a human being! It is an absolute privilege to be a teacher and I look forward to each year to making a difference in the lives of my students!

I earned my BS degree from the University of South Florida and I have been teaching at TSFES ever since! 

In my free time, I enjoy traveling, spending time with my daughter, reading, shopping, and going for long walks!

 

Ms. Alexandra Rodriguez

Hello! My name is Alexandra Rodriguez, and this is my fifth-year teaching at Tarpon Springs Fundamental. I have experience teaching Kindergarten – 3rd grade and truly love teaching primary grade levels. I graduated from Florida State University with a master’s degree in Curriculum and Instruction and a bachelor’s degree in Elementary Education. I have two cats, named Jax and Missy, who I adore. A fun fact about me is that I am a vegetarian.

I am passionate about making sure that each one of my students can apply what we are learning to the real world. I strive to guide students to a deeper level of thinking while learning how to effectively collaborate with their peers. I look forward to teaching first grade here at TSFES during this 2026-2027 school year.
