Hi Everyone,
It's been a short but busy week!
In honor of Fire Safety Week, we had a visit from Ms. Lisa Braun with Loudoun County Fire and Rescue. Ms. Braun spoke with us about fire safety and shared important information. Please ask your child about our fire safety program! :)
My son, Savey ("Say-vee"), is in the Educators Rising Club at Champe. As part of the club, he'll be coming to Pinebrook with me each Tuesday morning to spend an hour in our class before going to his school. The kids are really enjoying him, and he's having a ball with them. Here are a couple photos of him on his first day. Savey has a real heart for little ones. He's going to love his time as our tutor!
Pumpkins:
We will complete an in-class pumpkin investigation. Each child will need his/her own small pumpkin. I sent a note home about this in last week's Thursday folder. Please send your child's small pumpkin to school by Monday. Please write your child's name on the bottom of his/her pumpkin.
Wear Pink Monday:
On Monday, cartoonist Duane M. Abel will visit Pinebrook. He is the creator of the ZED comic, and will be presenting a program called "Draw Your Destiny." Because ZED is pink, we are asking all students and staff to come to school in pink on Monday. :)
Fall Party:
Please mark your calendar for our Fall party on Wednesday, October 31st at 1:30 our classroom. All families are welcome to attend! (NO costumes, please.) I will send a food menu home before the party. Our awesome team of Room Moms and I thank you for your donations. Your funds will be put to good use, as the ladies plan for our class celebrations. :)
Extra Clothes:
Because first graders are still prone to bathroom accidents and playground slips, please consider tucking an extra set of clothing (to include underclothes) into your child's backpack. I will not collect and store the clothes in our classroom. The extra set of clothing will simply sit at the bottom of your child's backpack until it may be needed. Thank you!
Water Bottles:
If you're not already doing so, please begin to send a water bottle to school each day with your child. We do NOT have an in-class water fountain. The kids get tired and thirsty over the course of our day, and water goes a long way toward helping them stay energetic and attentive.
Focus Areas for the Coming Week:

- Reading: We will continue our Word Detectives Unit, in which we learn ways readers solve hard words.
- Writing: We will learn how writers bring characters to life in stories.
- Math: We will begin our geometry unit. We will talk about shapes in our environment. We will talk about sides, vertices, and right angles. We will sort shapes by their attributes.
- Science: We will learn the life cycle of a pumpkin. We will begin our pumpkin investigation.

My friend, Mrs. Rivera, talked me into running the The Blood and Guts Run tomorrow. Savey will run it too. It's an obstacle course 5K through Bull Run Park. I've never run one of these races. I asked Mrs. Rivera, "What do we do when we come to the water obstacles in 40 degree weather?" She said, "Ummmm.....run faster?" 😬😂
