Mrs. Burch's Weekly Update (1/22)

Hello, parents! Happy Friday!! :) 

We had a great week! We are really focusing on quality work and good handwriting. Several students are rushing through their work and we are having them erase and redo assignments that are not easy to read, or are lacking capitals and punctuation. Many students are also forgetting to do their homework at home each night on Seesaw. Please remind your child to check Seesaw after school for their nightly activity. The activities should only take a few minutes to complete. If your child is struggling with the concept highlighted in the activity, please reach out and let me know. We will be sure to work with him/her in class the next morning.
