Hello Families!

Several Dorothy Grant 3rd graders were recently honored for their essays and art created in honor of the Fontana Teachers Association’s Black History Month Essay, Visual Arts, and Media Presentation Contest entitled “Civil Rights in America.”

Essays from my class: Jacob T., Jaqueline, Joseph, Jacob F., and Matthew

Congratulations!!

The next FTA contest will be on Women’s History and the details will be announced soon.  I look forward to working with all of the 3rd graders again.  This time I will also be attempting to guide students in a media/technology project, so do stay tuned for that!
