Where did the week go? We had another great week of learning. We are excited about our new Grade 1 Spanish website and hope you will refer to it as information will be added that reflects our classroom learning. Please make certain you are reading with your child each night for at least 20 minutes. They should be reading out loud to you. Finally, we are excited about our Spanish Heritage Readers that will be coming in each Thursday starting next week!
Have a wonderful weekend!
