Hello Everybody!
I'd like to introduce myself...I'm Mr. Pellegrino. I will be your teacher until Ms. Danowitz returns. In case you are wondering, I have talked with her and she is recovering at home. She misses you all very much!! Ms. Danowitz has told me all about how wonder her students are and I am sure to see for myself in the next few weeks. I know that we are coming close to the end of the year, but I do want to let you know that we will have fun, BUT WE ARE GOING TO WORK!
Oh no, did he say work? Cheer up!! I promise that we will have a great deal of fun along the way.
I do want to continue with you blogs. I will try to get an entry everyday for you all. I do not have an email address set up at this time, so you will need to write the answers to my DAILY QUESTION on a sheet of paper for the next class period to get your particiaption point.
