Weekly Update

Hi Parents!

I hope you've had a good week!  We had a visit from the dentist and a few days of indoor recess.  We had a Den Rally today where we talked about promises and commitments.  We also learned about Mr. Thiessen's nomination for LCPS Principal of the Year!  Congratulations, Mr. Thiessen!  

Here's a quick update...

No School Tuesday:
Don't forget there is NO SCHOOL FOR STUDENTS on Tuesday, March 3rd.

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 discuss tools readers use to better understand books.  We will explore rhyme, author's message, and have some fun with Dr. Seuss favorites.   
• Writing:  We will continue our opinion writing unit.  We will also take inspiration from some Dr. Seuss favorites while we practice mechanics, punctuation, and proper sight word spelling. 
• Math:  We will finish our Subtraction unit.
• Social Studies:  We will learn more about Dr. Seuss and his life while enjoying some Dr. Seuss themed activities.    

Thank you for your continued efforts to support the kids and me!  I appreciate working with each of you, and I am continually amazed at the progress the kids are demonstrating.  Please reach out with questions, comments, and feedback.

Have a super weekend!
