Get Ready for a “Bee-utiful” Year in Kindergarten!

Happy second week of school! I hope everyone is finding it easier to get into the routine of things! We had a great first week, and I truly cannot wait to see all of the things we are going to do this year!
OOPS I HAD A TYPO!!! In the newsletter last week I had said t-shirts were $8, but they are $10. The correct price is on the order form! ORDER FORMS AND MONEY ARE DUE ON FRIDAY! If you wish to order an adult shirt after Friday, you need to contact the Dawg House on your own. All student sizes will be submitted and turned in on Friday.
I sent a snack note home at open house! I truly appreciate the parents that have sent in snack for the whole class! If you would like to donate to the class as a whole we have 17 students and no allergies! Some good ideas are: cheese-its, animal crackers, fruit snacks, peanut butter crackers, pretzels, apple sauce cups, cheese and crackers, etc… Please try to send individual servings OR send in snack sized baggies with your big bag/box so that we can make individual servings. Thanks again to those sent in last week/this week!
If you would like to sign up for the weekly emails, please send an email to my address (sburroughs@odessar7.net) so I can add you to the group! If you have not already joined the text alert, I HIGHLY recommend it! Text: @hf79d2 to the number: 81010 ALSO DON’T FORGET OUR FACEBOOK PAGE: Mrs. Burroughs Kindergarten Class 2018-19
The website is a work in progress guys! I have updated some of the info and will be loading pictures from the first week later this week!
