What a better way to help with language development than with Diagrama Narrativo, BeGlad strategy. Students not only engage on the story but interactive with vocabulary and listening to the text and placing the dialogue according its sequence. @JohnMuirLA @sdusdmed

Who has the best principal in San Diego? @JohnMuirLA does. @DoctoraRendon never misses an opportunity to lead by example: even if it means coaching the girls soccer team in heels. Always putting students first. @sdschools
