NEWSLETTER MRS. TURNER JAN. 29-FEB. 2
BLOG- Mrs. Soto has helped set up a classroom blog for us. I will place the newsletter on the blog each Monday. Mrs. Soto is also adding special reminders. To get to the blog, go to the Ford website, click on Web pages, go to my name and click on it. It will take you straight to the blog. I will continue to print the newsletter on hard copy for the next couple of weeks. Let me know if you would like for me to continue sending you a copy or if you just want to get the info. from the blog. Thanks so much for your help, Mrs. Soto!
