Thank You Darien Rotary Club!

Our class has wonderful news! Last year I applied for a Grant-in-aid from the Darien Rotary Club and I recently found out that we won. We have won $400 for our classroom. I will be purchasing new books for our bookshelf, teacher guides, prizes for the treasure chest, games and a classroom pet. The boys are very excited about the news. Make sure to look on my blog next week and I will post pictures of our new pet.

2nd grade spelling words include: pal, skip, dime, just, tape, bump, wipe, yet, wide, pile, gave, like, huge

Fall Is Here

The boys have been making excellent progress! The first graders have been working on

their sight words. So far we have learned: we, go, my, the, and, at, cat, on, not, I, see, like, am. Keep working on these words at home!

Spelling words next week for 2nd graders include: am, hide, made, his, nut, dig, job, size, fox, sat, fun, late, hug, wet, mop, went, leg, bite, ran, ate

Thank you for the contributions to my classroom to purchase books. I was able to buy five new books for my classroom. The boys were very excited about the new additions to our boo

kshelf.
