Welcome!

Welcome to Room 1209! My name is Miss King-Sadler. I am one of the two mainstream First Grade teachers. First grade is a year filled with learning, new friendships and fun activities. Our days are filled with Literacy, new concepts in Math, Science and Social Studies.

I am delighted to be your child's First Grade teacher. Personally, I believe that first grade will be your child's most challenging year in their entire educational career!

Below are a few "tid-bits" about me!

• I received my Master's in Education from the University of Bridgeport and my Sixth Year Certificate of Advanced Studies in Reading from Sacred Heart University.
• I have been working with children all my life as I am the oldest of 7!
• My favorite color is orange.
• I love cooking with my students!
• I have a pet cat.
