We have 14 days left until the end of the school year for our students. That
is so hard to believe. Your students are pratically 4th graders. This week
we will have some review. The EOGs will occur on Tuesday, Wednesday, and
Thursday. No homework EXCEPT 20 minutes of nightly reading and to work on
reading goal. Students can get on Kidbiz and IXL anytime for fun or a
refresher.
Sincerely,
Sherry Simmons
