Mrs. Fowler's assignments

I trust that you all had a good day at school. I am excited to get to know each of you.

I know that several of you mentioned that you could not work the google calendar for literature. If you click on the calendar, then you should be able to use the arrow keys to scroll up and down. I hope this works.
