Tomorrow- Wednesday- September 25 our classroom will have a parent come in to discuss “Down Syndrome.” 

If your child comes home and discusses this with you I wanted you to be aware of this discussion we were going to have.

I am always happy to have parents come in and share their talents/abilities.

If you are interested in coming in to share an interest with the children I would be happy to hear from you.

Thank you for your continued support and love to our classroom.

Ms. Leslee and Ms. Susan

Dear Parents,

I wanted to make sure that each child is bringing his/her own lunch to school each day.

I know that sometimes there can be a “forget” day. Recently, there have been a couple of students that have not had their lunch.

I do have our snack supply from week to week but I don’t have any other “instant” lunch preparation.

The school does have a limited amount of “instant” lunch offers but I just want to make sure each student tries to bring their lunch.

I don’t want your child to go without, so don’t be too concerned if a “forgot day” comes up. I will make sure they have something to eat.

Thank you-

Ms. Leslee

A couple of weeks ago I shared a post about the Original Works. I do have a white card stock paper  8 1/2 x 11 size and a information sheet that I sent home with a few students who wanted to work on this at their home.

We do have time during our afternoon work cycle that I am encouraging the students to take a day or two and spend creating it in the classroom.

Your student can certainly do it at home. I just wanted to inform that this is due on Friday, September 27.

If you have not received a white card stock paper and a information sheet from your child- please email me and I can make sure they get one in their back pack.

If they want to accomplish this at school that is great also.

Thank you-

Ms. Leslee

I wanted to touch base with each parent and let them know of the time that we will be meeting at the bus station on 25th street.  The time will be 8:00 a.m. on Friday, October 11. 

One of our teachers, Ms. Mikelea who has done so much to help us get this together sent out a email to the teachers this week.

Thank you to those who have been inquiring.

Ms. Leslee 

I Wonder…..

Thank you-

Ms. Leslee
