Weekly Update

Happy Friday!

We had a delightful week in Room 9, and we ended it on a high-note with a Den Rally!  Donuts with Dads was a success, and tomorrow is the Fall Festival!  It's a great time to be a Pinebrook Puma!

Just a few quick items for you...

Please Sign Up for a Conference!

Parent / Teacher conferences will be held at the end of the first quarter.  I am using Sign Up Genius to schedule conferences.  I sent the Sign Up Genius over Remind yesterday. You can also sign up for a conference time by clicking HERE.  If you are unable to attend a conference on one of the dates / times listed, please send me an email to make alternate arrangements. 

Scholastic News and Science Spin Money:
Please kindly remember to send Scholastic News and Science Spin money if you have not yet done so.  

1st Quarter Interim Progress Reports:
1st Quarter Interim Progress Reports ("interims") will be issued Wednesday, October 2nd.  If your child receives an interim, it will be emailed to you on Wednesday, October 2nd using the email address on file in your ParentVue account.  You can update and/or verify your email address by logging into your ParentVue account.  If you are unable to access your ParentVue account, please contact our school office.  (I'm sorry; I'm not able to help you with this - you must contact the office.)

Puma Olympics:
Our Puma Olympics will be held next Thursday afternoon.  Students will spend time outside participating in a variety of team-building and cooperative games. Please be sure your child comes to school dressed in comfortable clothes and athletic shoes / sneakers.

Focus Areas for the Coming Week:

• Reading:  We will learn good habits for solving hard words. 
• Writing:  We will continue writing small moment stories.
• Math:  We will begin our patterns and sorting unit.  We will identify and create growing and repeating patterns, pattern units, and patterns in our world. 
• Social Studies:  We will talk about Christopher Columbus and Columbus Day.

Please let me know if you have any questions, comments, or concerns.  

We have a busy weekend planned with our exchange student, Erik.  We are going to The Great Inflatable Race tomorrow, and taking him to a baseball game.  I hope you have a wonderful weekend planned too!
