Mrs. Burch's Weekly Update (1/10)

Happy Friday!! 😁 Tonight is Hutchings night at the High School Basketball game!  See the attached flyer for details!

A few notes:
  • Please remind your child to read at least 15 minutes over the weekend!  They need to record their reading in their Brag Bag reading logs and you need to sign!  This is part of their reading grade and nothing helps kids become better readers more than reading at home! 
  • We are starting our landforms projects soon, but we do not have anyone signed up to make playdough! 😬  We cannot do the project without playdough!!  Please see the Landforms Sign-up if you are able to make playdough.  The recipe is included at the top of the signup.  Kids love to help with this endeavor.  Thank you for your help so we can do this project!!   
  • Book orders are due online Wednesday, January 15!  clubs.scholastic.com  class code: GZKBK
  • The end of the quarter is Friday, January 17.  Please make sure all missing work is turned in by then.  You can check PowerSchool to see if your child has any work missing.  Call the office if you need help logging into PowerSchool.  Report Cards will be available on PowerSchool January 24.
  • There is no school Monday, January 20, in observance of MLK, Jr. Day.
  • If you would like to volunteer in our classroom, please see the sign up sheet for available slots!  Volunteer Sign-up Sheet  **Make sure your volunteer background check paperwork has been turned in to the office.  That must be completed at least a week before you can volunteer in the classroom!
