Ms. Desmond's and Mrs. Leedy's Overview
November 30, 2009
We are "Wild about Learning" with a motto of "Hakuna
Matata," (no worries).
REMEMBER: Due to the Thanksgiving holiday, the November Reading presentations
are this week, on the 2nd and 3rd. It must be a biography of a person who has
been important in American History. Check with me if you have any questions.
There will be a special set of requirements for the presentations this month.
THE GUIDELINES WENT HOME WEEKS AGO!
As a special reward to our classes for a good year so far, we are allowing
them to have a "sleeping bag day" this Friday, Dec. 4th. Each child may do
their work while lying in their sleeping bag. All subjects will still be
covered as it is a normal day of school.
Once again, if you need to contact us, the most rapid method is through email.
Contact us at deanna.desmond@stpsb.org
or sherry.leedy@stpsb.org. Sincerely,
Deanna Desmond and Sherry Leedy
