Posted on April 22, 2015 by Ms Pitcher

Congratulations to Katia Cain, Dash Weaver and Ivy Stullich! Katia read The Swing, Dash read an excerpt from Shakespeare, and Ivy read Sing a Song of People. These were all challenging poems, but these students were able to bring them to life. They will be moving on to the Final Poetry Competition on Thursday, April 23rd. Thank you to everyone for all you hard work. Reading poetry is fun but challenging!

First Grade Teacher Feature

Posted on April 19, 2015 by Ms Pitcher

Surfing with Mrs. Jones is now available on the Online Auction for our School Gala next weekend. Students can experience learning to surf and play in the ocean with their teacher. Along with San Diego Surf School instructors, I will be taking students out at Law Street in Pacific Beach. This is where I began my surfing career 11 years ago. Can’t wait to share something I love with your kids! Hopefully they will fall in love with this hobby like I did…
