Hi Everyone,
A surprise snow day! Hooray! I was able to cook breakfast for my boys. It was such a treat because they are normally sleeping when I leave for school. We got out a bunch of our Holiday decorations too. :)
We have a short week coming up, and then 5 wonderful days to spend with family and food! Here's what you need to know for next week's short week and the week after....
We Filled the Marble Jar!
The kids have been ready, responsible, and respectful, and I'm so proud to report that they have filled our class marble jar! They chose a movie and popcorn as a reward, so on Tuesday, I will show them a G-rated movie (they haven't chosen which one yet) and offer popcorn. If you do NOT want your child to eat the popcorn, please let me know by Tuesday. I will send a note home about this as well.
Quarter 1 Report Cards:
A friendly reminder that Quarter 1 report cards were issued Monday. If you've not yet done so, please log into your ParentVue account to view your child's report card.
Thanksgiving Travel:
If your child will be absent next week, and / or leaving early on Tuesday, please kindly notify both the office and me in advance. For absences, you may use the online absence excuse found on the Pinebrook homepage, or by clicking HERE. For early dismissal, you may use the early dismissal form found on the Pinebrook homepage, or by clicking HERE.
School Picture Retakes:
School Picture Retakes will be Monday, November 19th. Picture retakes are for students who were absent on picture day, or students who paid for a picture package and would like to have the photos redone. If you believe either of these apply to you, please send me a message and I will give you all the details about picture retakes.
No Written Homework Next Week:
There will be no written homework next week due to our short week. PLEASE READ! Remember...reading isn't homework...reading is LIFE. :)
Focus Areas for the Coming Short Week (11/20-11/21) AND the Week of 11/27 - 12/1:
Happy Thanksgiving! As I count my blessings, your sweet kiddos, you, and the support you offer each day are surely at the top of the list.
