Ms. Desmond's and Mrs. Leedy's Overview
November 9, 2009
We are "Wild about Learning" with a motto of "Hakuna
Matata," (no worries).
Here's hoping everyone says safe during this weather. We are going to try to
say on our weekly schedule as indicated below. If this needs to change for
some reason, we will make those changes later in the week.
Interims are scheduled to come home on Thursday. Please review it carefully,
sign and return the interim on Friday.
REMEMBER: Due to the Thanksgiving holiday, the November Reading presentations
will be the first week of December on the 2nd and 3rd. Each child must give me
the name of their Historical Biography by this Friday, November 6th. 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 ARE COMING HOME TODAY!
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
