Hi Parents!
Happy Friday! We had a fun week! We celebrated the 100th day of school and we celebrated Valentine's Day! I received so many sweet Valentine gifts! The cards, candy, and notes just make my day. I will share all the treats with the boys. Thank you so much!
As we head into a long weekend, here is your weekly update:
Opinion Writing Collections:
I sent a note home in yesterday's Thursday folder about our upcoming writing unit. We will begin learning how to state an opinion and how to support that opinion. To do this, I am asking each student to bring in a small collection of objects in a shoebox or other small container. We will use these collections to help with our opinion writing. Please help your child bring his/her collection to school on Tuesday, February 18th.
Random Acts of Kindness Week:
Next week is designated "Random Acts of Kindness Week". I sent home information in yesterday's Thursday folder about this special week dedicated to acts of kindness. Please read the information regarding the "School Counselors' 28-day Kindness Challenge", and how you can "Celebrate as a Family at Home". We will have a school-wide spirit week too! The themes for each day are as follows:
Don't forget! No school on Monday due to Presidents' Day. Savey is off on retreat; Jonah gets to be an only child for a few days! Enjoy your long weekend!

- Friday: At PNB, kindness starts with me! (Wear Pinebrook spirit wear)
Focus Areas for the Coming Week:
- Reading: We will begin a new unit called "Reader's Have Big Jobs". We will talk about the strategies good readers use to help themselves be better readers, such as stopping at the first sign of trouble.
- Writing: We will begin our opinion writing unit. We will practice convincing our reader of our opinion and supporting our claims.
- Math: We will begin our subtraction unit. We will learn that subtraction is the reverse of addition, and learn ways for quickly solving subtraction facts.
- Social Studies: We will learn about Presidents' Day. We will talk about the lives of George Washington and Abraham Lincoln, and talk about their contributions to our country.
Don't forget! No school on Monday due to Presidents' Day. Savey is off on retreat; Jonah gets to be an only child for a few days! Enjoy your long weekend!
