Note from Ms. Farrell
Please be advised that this is a tentative schedule for the week. Please check your child’s assignment notebook for day to day changes in the schedule.
Also, as fourth grade students, I feel that the students should be learning responsibility with their assignment notebook. Therefore, they are responsible for writing down their assignments and gathering their materials at the end of the day. I will begin the school year by checking and initialing the assignment notebook. As the year goes on, I will not be checking as much and giving them for responsibility.

~Everyone has a SUPERHERO inside them, waiting to be discovered.
