Mrs. Burch's Weekly Update (9/10)

Hi, families!! We had a great week! :)

Miss Burkholder needs to do some video taping of herself teaching as part of her student teaching assignment. These videos will be used for pointing out specifics in her teaching, not focusing on your children. However, they may be in the videos sometimes, since they are in the classroom. Therefore, we are sending home a permission slip for your child to be video taped this semester. Please sign and return as soon as possible. If you do not want your child videotaped for educational purposes, please make a note of that on the permission slip and return for our records. We can relocate their seat for the video taping, if that is your preference. Please let me know if you have any questions!

The Community Bible Church in Brighton is offering 1 hour/week of free tutoring and most of their volunteers are teachers. Here's the link to register, if you're interested: 


Reminders:
  • Students will have homework on Seesaw Monday-Thursday each week. All homework is available starting at 3:45 PM each day. There will not be Seesaw homework on the weekends, but that's always a great time for students to get caught up if they're behind on their Seesaw activities. Nightly homework should only take 5-10 minutes. We talked about that even if they have sports or activities, they should be able to complete their homework without a problem. If students are unable to do their homework at home, they will need to finish during recess in the morning. If your child is having trouble and needs more help from me, please send me a message and I will help them in the morning! 
  • Please make sure to call the office and let them know when your child is going to be absent, even if you send an email to me. The office needs to verify. The number is 517-540-8081 then listen for the different options for attendance. Thank you!

Reading: Scooping up Words, Comprehension

Writing: visualizing, writing with good details

Math: Number Patterns 

Science: How big is a foot?, Outdoor Scavenger Hunt
