First Year Teacher in CT!

Hi everyone! I am a recent ECSU college grad and just got my first teaching job as an elementary teacher at a Title 1 school in a large urban district. I created a wishlist on Amazon of supplies my classroom and students will need to start the year. If anyone in the community could help us by purchasing an item off the list, I would so appreciate it! Thank you for your consideration!

Grass seed planting

I spent the last 2 days doing some lawn repair. I might be a bit on the early side, but I wouldn't wait too long if you plan to plant seed this fall. It takes a couple weeks to start growing and by then it's already Sept. Just a friendly reminder if anyone has this on their to-do list.

Also, crab grass is prevalent right now so stay vigilant and kill it off before it invades your lawn. Get some Quinclorac in a garden sprayer. Once it takes hold, it's hard to get rid of.

Pickle Fest Vendor?

Last year at the Pickle Fest at Mohegan-I bought a ring from a vendor. The ring is great and has not tarnished on me- a tanzanite stone on a silver band. Does anyone know who this vendor might possibly be or have a card of their info? I would love to buy from them if they have own website or Etsy or whatever because unfortunately I’m not going to be attending this year.
