From Mr. Robinson
Dear Boulevard Families,
As we enter into this season of appreciation, I want to take a moment to thank each and every one of you for your ongoing support of our fine school. Boulevard is the special place that it is, largely in part, because of you.
Wishing you health and happiness with loved ones!
Neal Robinson
ELL - World Language Lending Library
Boulevard’s ELL teachers would like to let everyone know that we have a collection of bilingual books in our World Languages Lending Library (WLLL) available for students, families, and teachers to borrow. Research says that when you strengthen learning in one language this knowledge will transfer to a 2nd language, so reading is a great way to expand knowledge in 1st AND 2nd languages! You can send Mrs. Lasheen or Ms. Stewart an email as an easy way to request these materials.

Our Feature Country: Brazil
Oi! (“Hello” in Portuguese, the official language of Brazil). Brazil is our spotlighted country next week! This country is found on the continent of South America and has a population of more than 184 million people (the largest country in South America). The capital city is Brasilia, while the largest city is Sao Paulo. Much of the Amazon rainforest is located in Brazil, home to a wide diversity of animals. In 2016, the Summer Olympics were held in Rio de Janeiro, Brazil. The Amazon River is found in Brazil and is the 2nd longest river in the world.
