Bienvenidos. Nǐ hǎo (你好)。Welcome to room 8. 

In room 8 we believe that every student CAN learn something new everyday! We will try our best and never give up. We will respect one another,  respect the rules, and use magic words such as: "gracias/thank you", "por favor/please", "con tu permiso/excuse me", "disculpa/sorry", etcetera.  We build on the positive and move forward to have a fresh start every day. 
 
Riverview International Academy is an amazing school environment where content is learned in Spanish. Students are learning three languages: Spanish, English and Chinese (Mandarin). Our class participates in Mandarin enrichment instruction. How sweet is that? Multilingualism is a valued asset in academia and the workforce: http://http://career-advice.monster.com/job-interview/interview-preparation/flaunt-your-fluency/article.aspx  

We will be using Gather Safely as our virtual communication platform. Watch for Weekly Study Island e-mails and reading comprehension progress reports. In addition, I encourage you to check our Gather Safely page regularly for announcements and important information and reminders of upcoming events.

Please feel free to contact me anytime. I am looking forward to an excellent school year!
