Meeting Emilio's third grade teachers

We are very happy that Emilio is going to have a return engagement with Miss Melinda . . .eh . . . Mrs. Hubble, who will be his home room and math teacher this year. Miss Melinda was Emilio's Head Start teacher five years ago at Monte Vista Academy. Loved her then, love her now.

Emilio's reading teacher, Ms. Ruiz-Blanco, looks like a winner, too. Apparently, she's quite a hugger.

According to the white board, this year in Ms. Ruiz-Blanco's class, Emilio will: "1. Build with Legos; 2. Plant a garden; 3. Learn some Spanish, Chinese; 4. Study other cultures; 5. Conduct chemistry experiments; 6. Read, write, and talk about books; 7. Learn how to become healthier, stronger, and kinder; 8. Create online presentations; and more!" Sounds good. Especially the Spanish part!
