Fifth Grade English Learners
April 28, 2020
Hello, Fifth Graders!
I hope all is well with you and your families and that remote learning is going well for you. I miss everyone at school. At my house, we are very happy about the warm weather so we can walk the dog outside and work in the yard. We've been busy playing online Scrabble, spring-cleaning the house, and cooking (and washing dishes!) If you have questions about classwork or need assistance, please call me at 317-988-6302 or email jody.horning@wayne.k12.in.us and I will be glad to help out.
