Weekly Update

Hi Everyone!

Happy St. Patrick's Day (a day early)!  I'm sure the leprechauns have lots of mischief planned.  Be sure to ask your kiddo about his/her leprechaun hat.

Pinebrook Triple Play:

Please join us!  Our annual Pinebrook Triple Play will be Thursday, March 22nd in the gym at John Champe High School.  Doors open at 5:45 pm.  This is a fun event in which teachers from Pinebrook will play volleyball and run relay races against teachers from Buffalo Trail. There will be food and snacks for sale, raffles, and other fun things. The 1st graders lead the singing of the National Anthem before the games begin. Please refer to your Pinebrook weekly email and the Thursday folder insert for more information.

Spring Break Travel:
If your child will be absent next week, or leaving school early in advance of Spring Break, please kindly notify both the office and me.  You can access the absence and early dismissal notifications on the Pinebrook homepage.

Yearbooks:
Pinebrook yearbooks are on sale now!  Yearbooks may only be purchased online.  To purchase a yearbook, go to ybpay.lifetouch.com and enter school code 7561118.  You will be prompted through the order and payment process.  The deadline to order a yearbook is April 29th.  You must pre-order a yearbook if you would like your child to receive one.  

Focus Areas for the Coming Week:
  • Reading:  We will talk about rich vocabulary in fiction stories. 
  • Writing:  We will finish our friendly letters unit as we focus on editing our writing for mechanics, punctuation, and proper sight word spelling.
  • Math:  We will finish our Fractions unit.  We will begin our Time unit after Spring Break.
  • Social Studies:  We will continue our Maps unit.  We will explore cardinal directions,  map keys and map symbols, and construct a map of a familiar area.

Thank you, Everyone!  Have a super weekend!
