Burroughs’ Buzz

January 22, 2019

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

I’m so excited! ALL MY ASSESSING IS DONE!!! Which means reading groups will resume and not be so sporadic! We are going to start working on doing a little more writing about our reading within our groups! I can’t wait to be back in the routine!
OOPS! MRS BURROUGHS MADE A MISTAKE! I totally put the 100th day on the wrong day of the calendar in the first place (I was a week off), but then with the snow day, THE 100TH DAY OF SCHOOL IS SCHEDULED TO BE JANUARY 31ST! I just wanted you to know, this is all things we will do in class, but just so you are aware!
FOR PENGUIN DAY ON THURSDAY, we ask that all students “dress like a penguin” or basically wear black and white! We will eat penguin food, practice taking care of a penguin egg, and watch a penguin movie!
I’m still needing another package of goldfish crackers by Thursday!
Family Fitness Night is next Tuesday (29th) 6-7pm! There will be rotations of 3 activities and a very light healthy snack served! It is truly one of my favorite events we do! I can’t wait to see you!
