Mrs. Burch's Weekly Update (2/12) - Happy Valentine's Day!

Happy Valentine's Day! We had a fun afternoon today with our Conversation Heart Math and exchanging valentines! We even watched a little bit of Charlie Brown Valentine, too! 🩷 





Don't forget we have NO SCHOOL Friday or Monday! Enjoy the long weekend!! 

Book Orders are due online by Tuesday morning! Please make sure orders are submitted online before noon on 2/17. All your scholastic orders help us earn free books for our classroom! Thank you for your support! 

Mrs. Burch's Code: GZKBK

Please note:
  • We do not celebrate birthdays with edible treats in 2nd grade. You are welcome to send in a pencil or small trinket for your child to pass out if you would like, but I will make his/her day special regardless! Thank you for understanding!
  • Don't forget: students need a healthy snack and a secure water bottle at school each day! We're having an issue with tops that don't close tightly OR that pop open easily. Please check your child's water bottle to make sure it's easy for them to latch. Thank you!
  • If you would like to help in our classroom this year, please see our Classroom Volunteer Sign-up! Make sure to fill out the volunteer form and turn into the office BEFORE you volunteer! Please limit sign-ups to twice per month, so all parents have a chance. Spots will become available 60 days out, so make sure to check back if everything is currently filled.

From the PTO:
