Queridos Padres,

Thank you so much for taking the time to come to conferences on Tuesday; it was wonderful to meet with all of you! Thank you too for the kind words of encouragement and blessing that so many of you offered-- you have no idea how much that meant to me. I am grateful to work alongside such fantastic parents and for the incredible support and encouragement you offer to me and to ZCS. I consider it a tremendous gift and privilege to get to partner with you in your child’s education! Thank you for sharing your delightful children with me!

Also, thanks to our amazing room-mom Erin Bremer and her team, for their splendid organizational skills with so many field trips together. You are simply amazing!

Thanks for all your prayers for our classroom! 

Blessings,

Maestra Durán

Thank you for encouraging them to do their best work. They are always excited to be able to teach others all their linguistic skills.
