Dear Parents,
This week fourth graders only will be taking the NYS English Language Arts Exam from April 16 to 18 (Tues., Wed., Thurs.). Since they are scheduled to take the test all morning and are scheduled for Math all afternoon, most likely will not have class with them till Friday. Dismissal is at 12:00 on Friday. There will be a Religion quiz after the test is over.
Some of the work scheduled for last week needs to be rescheduled for third grade since there was a Music class given on Tues. and Art class on Wed. as well as changes due to coach meetings.
Please see below for this week's homework:
