Hi Everyone!
I know how much the kids loved the snow! This was the best kind of snow...it snowed enough for the kids to play, and it melted quickly!
We are all excited for Spring Break. Here are a few things for you to know before our time off...
Pinebrook Triple Play:
With school cancelled yesterday, the Triple Play was also cancelled. Please watch for a communication from the Pinebrook office regarding a make-up date.
Flat Student Project Update:
We kissed the flat students goodbye today and they are off on their adventures! If your child did not bring in an address and/or stamps for our flat student project, I sent your child's project materials home today. You may choose whether to mail your child's flat student at your cost and convenience.
Spring Break Reading Incentive:
Your child brought home a Spring Break reading incentive today. This completed reading incentive is due on April 3rd. It is optional, but highly encouraged!
Mid-Year Marker Refresh:
The kids LOVE using markers, and I don't typically care whether they use their markers for coloring. This means many of their markers are lost/dried up/worn out/just plain OLD! Please feel free to send your child a fresh box of markers. Markers and crayons are not community supplies, so any markers you send are for your child's use only.
Homework / Sound of the Week:
We will NOT have homework or a new sound of the week the week we come back from Spring Break. Homework and sound of the week will resume the week of April 9th.
No School April 2nd and April 9th:
Friendly reminder that BOTH April 2nd and April 9th are Teacher Workdays. The kids do not have school.
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.
Do you have something fun planned for Spring Break? I am headed to a teaching conference in Washington, D.C., and we are going to Kings' Dominion to begin using our season passes. Aside from that, lots of coffee and books!

Focus Areas for the Coming Week:
- Reading: We will talk about rich vocabulary in fiction stories. We will talk about using context clues to determine the meaning of unknown words.
- Writing: We will write about our spring break as we focus on editing our writing for mechanics, punctuation, and proper sight word spelling.
- Math: We will begin our Time unit. We will practice telling time to the hour and half hour.
- 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.
