Hi Everyone!
I hope you enjoyed Spring Break. The kids had lots of stories to share about their Spring Break adventures. It was sweet to see them greet each other on Tuesday. They've become a little family, and they miss each other during breaks and weekends. 💛
Triple Play Rescheduled:
The Pinebrook Triple Play "Rumble in the Jungle" has been rescheduled for Thursday, April 26th. Please watch your Pinebrook weekly email for more details!
Pennies for Patients:
Our Student Council Association (SCA) is sponsoring a fundraiser called "Pennies for Patients." All funds will be donated to the Leukemia and Lymphoma Society to help battle childhood cancer. I sent home a collection box and a more detailed explanation in yesterday's Thursday folder. If your child would like to participate in this optional fundraiser, he/she may bring in any denomination of money (coins or bills) to school during the fundraising period.
Career Day:
Pinebrook will host a Career Day on the morning of Friday, April 27th. We are in need of volunteers to share information about their occupations with students at Pinebrook. If you can't be with us in person, you can Skype in! Please consider volunteering by contacting our counselors, Jennifer Nocito (jennifer.nocito@lcps.org) and Heather Ross (heather.ross@lcps.org).
Focus Areas for the Coming Week:
Have a great weekend, and don't forget there's no school Monday due to a teacher workday. Meantime, my boys are headed to a retreat this weekend so Leo and I are going to pretend we have no kids. We're headed to a concert tonight and we're eating out all weekend! Woo-hoo!

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 using context clues to determine the meaning of unknown words. Context clues are hints the author gives us in a sentence to help us find out the meaning of an unknown word.
- Writing: We will practice paragraph writing as we focus on editing our writing for mechanics, punctuation, and proper sight word spelling.
- Math: We will continue our Time unit. We will practice telling time to the hour and half hour.
- Social Studies: We will finish our Maps unit. We will explore cardinal directions, map keys and map symbols, and construct a map of a familiar area.
