Hello Burt Bunch Families,

Thank you to everyone who came out to Back-to-School Night.  It was great to meet everyone.  I also want to thank everyone who helped their child complete the All About Me poster.  The kids are enjoying getting to share them and they look great in our classroom.  We are having a change in our schedule.  The students will now have lunch from 10:32-11:02 each day and I will start to take the class out in the afternoon for recess.  We will have recess with one or two other classes each day.  Don't forget to check out the Week at a Glance.  You can find it in the tab to the left. 

Here is a list of reminders or ideas for this week.

• The nurse has mentioned that parents may want to put a change of clothes in their child's bookbag in case of a spill or accident.
• You will start to see some math exit slips this week.  Many times, I will use 1,2,3 for grades. 3= understands concept, 2= starting to understand concept, 1= needs support or does not understand concept.  Exit slips will always use this system, but you may see it for other activities as well.
• Our first pretzel sale is due on Thursday, Sept. 21.  Pretzels will be delivered on Friday, Sept. 29.

Thank you for a great week! Have an awesome weekend!

Respectfully yours,

Mrs. Burt

Hello Burt Bunch Families,

We had a great start to our year! The class has been very busy learning routines, procedures, and rules.  We have been meeting new friends and trying to remember each other's names.  The students are doing a great job adjusting to all the changes and getting back into being at school all day.  We have not had recess outside yet due to the weather, but starting Monday, the class will start having recess after lunch.  On Monday, the students will NOT be going into the cafeteria in the morning.  They will come right to the classroom.  I explained this in class on Friday, but if you could remind your child on Monday morning, that would be great.  Thank you to all the parents who sent in class supplies.

Here are a few reminders for this week:

• Back to School Night is Thursday 6-8 pm

• All About Me Posters are due Friday.  They can come in early.

Have a wonderful weekend!

Respectfully yours,

Mrs. Burt

Hello Burt Bunch Families, 

Welcome to our class! (Room D-13) I am looking forward to meeting all my new students and their families.  Don't forget First Grade Orientation is Tuesday, September 5 from 1-2 pm.  Please see the schedule below for your child's session.  I will use this web page for weekly updates all school year.  Take a minute to view the tabs to the left for some helpful information.  For the first day of school please make sure you have your child's bus pass or a note for how they will get home from school in their backpack.  Your child will also need to know his or her lunch pin. (This this their 5-digit student number.) Now would be a great time to practice.  They will have to key the number in on a keypad, just like a phone keypad.  A great idea is to have them practice on a phone.  Muscle memory is a great thing.  (I will provide them with a card that will have their number on it each day.)  

I am looking forward to a great year!  Have a wonderful Labor Day weekend!

Respectfully yours,

Mrs. Burt
