Hi Everyone!
The performance Tuesday was wonderful! Thank you for coming, and for supporting the students as they learned and practiced their lines. It's so touching to watch them perform patriotic songs dressed in America's colors. Gets me every time....
Volunteer Thank You Breakfast:
The Pinebrook Volunteer Thank You Breakfast will be Friday, June 3rd at 8:15 am in the cafeteria at school. The teachers donate the food and supplies, and our office staff coordinate the event. This is our way of thanking YOU for your volunteer efforts throughout the year. If you have volunteered in any capacity at Pinebrook this year (in a classroom, at an event, in the office or library, etc.), please mark your calendar for this event. You can attend the Breakfast and then plan to head to our classroom at 9:45 for our Poet's Tea!
Poet's Tea
We are busy preparing for our Poet's Tea next Friday, June 3rd from 9:45 - 10:30 am in our classroom. All families are welcome to attend. There is no dress code for the tea, but I did encourage the kids to dress "fancy" if they'd like. We'll have some light refreshments at the tea. I sent home a food permission slip in yesterday's Thursday folder. Please kindly return it as soon as possible. Meantime, our lunchtime is immediately following the tea, and you may choose to stay to eat lunch with your child. If you're staying to eat lunch, please plan to say goodbye to your child in the cafeteria at the end of our lunch period. Our regular instructional day will resume after lunch.
Ice Cream Social and Food Collection:
Please mark your calendar for our First Grade Finale on Thursday, June 9th from 1-2:30 pm in our classroom. All families are welcome to attend. More details, including a food permission slip and volunteer / donation opportunities, will follow.
Field Day:
Field Day is coming on Tuesday, June 7th, with a rain date of Thursday, June 9th. Mr. Lose and Mr. McPherson will set up some fun games and stations outside, and the kids will rotate through for a morning of fun. A few of the stations involve water play, so boys typically dress in swim trunks and a t-shirt, while girls usually wear a swimsuit under their clothes. The kids change out of their wet things when Field Day is finished, and then we eat lunch together in our classroom. The afternoon is fairly laid back because the kids are typically exhausted. Mr. Lose and Mr. McPherson still need many volunteers to make field day a success. If you're able to volunteer that day, please contact Mr. Lose at christopher.lose@lcps.org or Mr. McPherson at brian.mcpherson@lcps.org.
*Please watch next week's Thursday folder for some more specific guidelines and information about Field Day.
Please return Library books:
Mrs. Higgins has begun the daunting task of accounting for the thousands of library books in our Pinebrook library. If your child has books checked out, the books are not officially due until June 10th. However, if your kiddo is done reading the books, please send them back as soon as possible. This will help Mrs. Higgins with her end-of-year inventory. I told the kids today that I will begin to hand out Puma Paws on Tuesday for any books returned early. Each book is worth 2 paws.
Focus Areas for the Coming Week:
I think that's all I have for you this week. Enjoy the long weekend! It finally feels like summer!
