I'm part of
the
Kindergarten team at Mesa View for my seventh year. The
class of 2021 is
settling into routines which should serve them well for
the rest of their
school careers. Our all-day schedule indicates the state and district's
emphasis
on both acclimation to school and basic academic skills.

View Elementary School
Grants/Cibola County Schools
Grants/Cibola
County Schools serves a large area in western New Mexico. Many people
know our scenery and national monuments. We have agriculture, ranching,
timbering, mineral extraction, gaming, and correctional facilities in
our history.
From Acoma and
Laguna to the Continental Divide and from
Mt. Taylor to the El Malpais and El Morro monuments, and all points in
between, our school system draws from a rich heritage of land and
people.
I couldn't
encourage it more -- to keep educational themes going, even when the
child is not in school. A library card from Mother
Whiteside makes a
really great gift, and it's free! |
"What sculpture is to a block of marble,
education is to a human soul."
Joseph
Addison (1672-1719), English essayist

"To know how to suggest is the
great art of teaching. To attain it we must be able to guess
what will interest; we must learn to read the childish soul like a
piece of music. Then, by simply changing the key, we keep up
the attraction and vary the song."
Henri-Frédéric
Amiel (1821-81), Swiss philosopher
