I hope you all have a wonderful weekend,

Happy Saint Patrick's Day Burt Bunch Families,

I hope you all had a great week! The Leprechaun Traps were awesome.  That pesky Leprechaun sure made a mess of our classroom, but he was nice enough to leave us a treat.  Thank you to all those parents that attended Parent-Teacher Conferences. It was great to see you all.  Please take a minute to peek at our Week at a Glance for next week.  We will be having a math assessment early next week and our next phonics assessment will be early the following week.  I am looking forward to getting back to our regular schedule next week.    

Happy Spring!

Have a great weekend,

Hello Families, 

Please make sure you take a look at this week's Week at a Glance.  I also wanted to remind parents that school starts at 9:00am.  The students start heading down to the classrooms at 8:45 to have breakfast.  I have had many students that arrive at school late.  This is very distracting to the class and the start of our day.  I thank you for your help with this matter.  Don't forget school is closed on Monday to observe Columbus Day. 

Have a great weekend,
