Hello!
What a week! American Symbols Performance + Poet's Tea = HAPPINESS. There aren't enough words to express my gratitude for your support and attendance at both our performance and our Poet's Tea! The performance never gets old - it tugs on this American girl's heartstrings every time, while the Poet's Tea is hands-down my favorite event of the year. I am heading into this long weekend feeling bittersweet...so pleased with how far the kids have come; so sad it's almost time to say goodbye. 💛
As we start our last 2 weeks together, the calendar remains as full as ever! Please read below for details.
Field Day:
Our Field Day is Wednesday, May 31st from 8:00 am - 12:15 pm. I sent home specific guidelines in yesterday's Thursday folder about how to help your child prepare. I will send these home again on Tuesday. Some important highlights about preparing for Field Day:
I have finished reading Charlotte's Web, so for the last 2 weeks of school, I am inviting the kids to bring a favorite book to school for me to read. No chapter books, please. Limit 1 per customer, please, so I have time to read everyone's book.
Volunteer Breakfast:
Calling all volunteers! The annual Pinebrook Volunteer Appreciation Breakfast will be Friday, June 2nd at 8:15 am in the cafeteria at school. If you have volunteered in any capacity this school year, please come to enjoy breakfast, courtesy of our staff, and entertainment, courtesy of our students. You can RSVP for the breakfast by clicking HERE.
Desk and Supply Clean Out:
Next week, we will begin to clean out our desks and supplies. We will do this slowly, over several days, so the kids' backpacks aren't overloaded with all the things they'll be bringing home.
Please let me know if you have any comments or questions about anything I've written here.
Enjoy your long weekend! Please remember to stop and reflect on the meaning of Memorial Day. The sacrifices made by our service members and their families is significant and profound, and on Memorial Day, we remember those who have died while serving. Truly...we live in the land of the free because of the brave.

- Apply sunscreen at home.
- Send a water bottle (label it with your child's name!) and (preferably) a packed lunch.
- Girls - wear a bathing suit under shorts and a t-shirt.
- Boys - wear swim trunks with a t-shirt.
- Wear a hat or cap for extra sun protection.
- Wear sneakers. Children in flip flops will not be able to run!
- Send a towel, a dry change of clothes (including underclothes and shoes!), and a bag for wet things!

End of Year Party:
Our 1st Grade End of Year party will be Wednesday, June 7th at 12:45 pm in our classroom. All families are welcome to attend. I sent home a food permission slip in yesterday's Thursday folder. Please kindly return it as soon as possible so I know which treats your child may enjoy at our party.Desk and Supply Clean Out:
