¡Queridos Padres!
We had an amazing time with grandparents on Friday! I hope you all had enjoyed the pictures. Report cards will be posted by Friday, November 6, 2018.
In Technology class, first graders are starting a new unit about internet safety. We will be learning about and practicing topics like using ABC glossary searches, how emails travel, and what to do when someone is mean online. (A message from Mrs. Soterbeek technology teacher).
Grace & Peace;
Maestra Ruiz
