Mrs. Burch’s Weekly Update (5/9)

Thank you for all the Teacher Appreciation love shared this week! I love being your child’s teacher so much and this class is just the best!! 🩷

We had fun in the garden this afternoon! We took the tops off our mini greenhouses! Hopefully it's finally warm enough that we won't have to worry about a freeze. If you're interested in helping us transplant one afternoon next week, please let me know!

Our class is featured in this week’s edition of The Halls of Hutchings! Check it out! They were super excited!

Chaperones for the Howell Walking Field Trip on May 22 will be: Mrs. Pilarski, Mrs. Pietila, Mr. Traviglia, Mrs. Linhart (Sulek), Mrs. Hainstock, Mr. Peters, Mrs. Bott, Mrs. Kaptagay, Mrs. Adamski, and Mrs. Rosenthal

Chaperones for the Botanical Gardens Field Trip on May 27 will be: Mrs. Robinson, Mrs. Adamski, Mrs. Rosenthal, and Mrs. Pedigo
