Mrs. Burland's Bulletin
February 12th through February 16th
February 12th through February 16th
On Wednesday, February 14th we will celebrate Valentine's Day. Thank you so much to our party planners and to all the parents who are helping run the activities! I also appreciate the parents who are sending in treats and supplies! The students are going to have a blast! If students choose to pass out Valentine's Day cards, they should get a card for everyone in the class. There are 23 students in the class (12 boys and 11 girls). We will pass out cards on Wednesday before the class party.
Please stay safe this weekend with our winter storm!
We will not have school on Friday, February 16th or Monday, February 19th. Please plan accordingly.
The Upcoming Week at School:
Reading: This week students will learn about nonfiction text features and nonfiction good fit articles. Please make sure your child is reading and keeping track of their minutes on the February reading log!
Culture Day: Please make sure to look at the letter that was sent home yesterday about Culture Week! Students will need to read three chapters from their country report to the class, share their family/ancestor connection to the country they are presenting, and bring in 2 items as well. I look forward to hearing each student present on their assigned date (2/20, 2/21, 2/22, or 2/23). Students will receive a paper copy of their research paper this week that they can use to help practice. If they would like to practice over the weekend, they can use their chromebooks.
