Weekly Update

Hi Everyone!

Happy Friday!  We are finishing up our Random Acts of Kindness (RAK) week. The kids love Spirit Weeks, and the teachers enjoy participating too!  We had indoor recess yesterday and today due to the cold, which gave the kids extra time to show off and share their shoebox collections.  It's been a good week!

Just a couple things this week....

Tissues and Clorox Wipes:
We are running low on tissues and Clorox wipes.  Please kindly consider donating these items to our classroom.  Thank you!

3rd Quarter Interim Progress Reports:
3rd Quarter Interim Progress Reports ("interims") will be issued Wednesday, February 26th.  If your child receives an interim, it will be emailed to you on Wednesday, February 26th, 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.  

Dreambox Learning:
Some of you have mentioned difficulties with your child logging onto Dreambox Learning.  Here is an update from Mrs. Clark, our Instructional Facilitator of Technology: 
"The main thing IFT's and DDI is telling me is to have parents clear their cache and cookies on their browser, then log into lcps go and see if that clears things up."

Pinebrook 15-Year Celebration:
Mark your calendar for May 7th!  Please see the flyer below about our Pinebrook 15-year celebration!  It's going to be a blast!




Focus Areas for the Coming Week:
  • Reading:  We will continue our "Readers Have Big Jobs" unit as we discuss ways to be the "boss" of our reading - stopping when we notice trouble, and using strategies to solve tricky words. 
  • Writing:  We will continue our opinion writing unit. We are using the students' collections to make judgements and support our opinions.  
  • Math:  We will continue 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 Black History Month, which is celebrated in February.  We will talk about why we celebrate Black History, and discuss the accomplishments of some famous Black Americans. 
Please reach out anytime with questions, comments, or feedback! 

It's the weekend!  Enjoy!
