" Yep! It's a fact of life- homework everynight! "
Fourth graders have agenda books with their nightly homework assignments written in them.
To start the year, students will receive a homework packet on Monday. Each night they must complete three sheets of the packet to show me in the morning. Please make sure Study Links math sheets and Parent-given spelling pretest are turned in by Friday along with the completed packet.
Thank you! -Mrs. Lowry
