It was my pleasure to meet with you during conferences! Thank you for sharing your wonderful child with me each day! I feel like the luckiest teacher….
Today we saw a fantastic presentation on Internet Safety. Please ask your child what he/she learned! Following the presentation, we had a wonderful discussion about what we can do to stay safe online. The kids also asked many good questions! While I will be setting our paragraph practice wiki to Private – “Only members of this wiki can view and edit pages,” I am hoping you can help me ensure the kids safety online.
