More Services
Primary Talent Pool : New Schedule! I will see 1st grade on Mondays at 10:45 , 2nd grade on Tuesdays at 9:40, and 3rd grade on Fridays at 9:40. This week, we will do a walking field trip in South Frankfort to identify and take pictures of at least one landmark that is important to our community and at least one vacant or run down spot that could be revitalized. We will work the next couple of weeks on understanding why these places matter so much to our town and creating plans for ways to improve our community!
4th Grade- We will continue with Chasing Vermeer this week. I am trying to make a schedule so I can see these kiddos twice a week!
