Did you know that Mrs. DeGeorges holds a vocabulary raffle three times per year?  Just keep your ear out for vocabulary words!  When you find vocabulary words IRL, write them down on a raffle ticket, and document the sources!  Raffle tickets are on the top shelf of the blue cart in the classroom. Next due date is February 13th!
