Mrs. Patricia Pfeiffer - 5  (Send e-mail) Welcome to my Home Page. Please look at my entries at the start of each week so you are apprised of the activities we are working on. Look carefully at end-of-the-week assignments which are introduced on Monday and are due on FRIDAY. In Reading, for example, vocabulary lists are created and discussed on Monday, but the Vocabulary Charts are not due until FRIDAY. For Social STudies and Science, please see weekly information for the course of study we are working on. ALSO - PLEASE BE ADVISED THAT THERE IS AN AFTER-SCHOOL TUTORING PROGRAM titled: Academic Assistance. This is a time-slot after school where students can work on homework with the assistance of a certified teacher from 2:55pm until 3:50pm. Also, there is an after school bus which transports students home after this program! What a great way for students to complete their homework assignments before they even get home! I will do my best to keep you aware of each and every aspect of our learning objectives. Feel free to email me with any questions or concerns you have. I hope to make this the best year ever!
