A huge thank you to all our families for your generous donations to our classroom!  We received so many items to use this year we are overwhelmed!  THANK YOU!! 

At this time, the only item we are still in need of are additional sets of math flashcards for addition and subtraction.  If you happen to be at a dollar store and could pick up a set or two, we have a few students who would be ever so grateful!

Thanks again for such generosity!
