Thanks for the friend invite. Am thinking of you in Poughkeepsie, not that far from us in Mamaroneck and yet you are getting the snow and we have only the sleet. Sigh.

For all teachers of 2nd grade.
Thanks Sarah,
I agree with you - what I really want to say is that the 1-1 will enhance and improve our already high quality teaching and that it is part of the "life long learner" that is in our mission statement.
And then I'm done.
However, o...
Dear Cassandra,
Thanks for the help. I have visited the Primary Mathematics series website and sent an email to their school contact email address. If I don't hear something soon I will send you an email request for your rep.
