Mrs. Burland's Bulletin
March 18th through March 22nd

                                             

We are coming up to the final week before Spring Break. We are visiting the Chicago History Museum on Tuesday, March 19th. We will learn all about our fair city, especially the Great Chicago Fire and the Colombian Exposition. Please make sure your child brings a totally disposable lunch on that day. We are so lucky to be able to see our beautiful city and take in the History Museum for free!

Happy St. Patrick's Day! "May the road rise up to meet you and the wind be always at your back." 

                                        

The students did a great job on their country presentations! I enjoyed learning more about where their family/ancestors immigrated to the U.S. from.
