Mrs. Burland's Bulletin

Thank you so much for sending in apples for Johnny Appleseed's birthday!  Above are pictures of the class wearing their apple glasses.

Can you believe that on Monday it is already October? Next Friday is our midpoint for first trimester?

Whatever I Need (WIN): On Monday, October 1st, students will begin our WIN program, which is from 10:20-10:50 a.m. During this time, students may switch to another class to work on reading skills identified from Fountas and Pinnell and MAP testing. This allows for differentiated instruction in order to meet all students' needs. Students who have been identified as gifted will receive services at this time as well.
