Weekly Update

Hi Parents,

I hope you had a great week.  I am checking in for your regular weekly update. 

100th Day Celebration:
The 100th day of school is Wednesday!  Please remember students are invited to dress as a 100 year old boy or girl, or to make and wear a special 100th day shirt decorated with 100 items.  I sent home a 100th day food permission slip in yesterday's Thursday folder; please kindly return it as soon as possible.  It's going to be a fun day!  

Valentine's Day Party:
One final reminder...our Valentine's Day party is Friday, February 14th from 11:45 am - 1:15 pm in our classroom.  All families are welcome to attend.  I sent home a food permission slip in yesterday's Thursday folder; please kindly return it as soon as possible.  If your child is exchanging Valentines with classmates, you may send your child's Valentine cards at any time.  

Career Day Volunteers
Pinebrook will host a Career Day on Thursday, April 2nd.  We are in need of volunteers to share information about their occupations with students at Pinebrook.  Please consider volunteering by contacting our counselors, Tana Amadeo (tana.amadeo@lcps.org) and Lisa Morales (lisa.morales@lcps.org).  You can also volunteer by clicking HERE.

Focus Areas for the Coming Week:
  • Reading:  We will learn strategies for reading nonfiction aloud like an expert - we will share interesting pages, think about the content of a page to determine how our voices should sound, explain and think about keywords, and use drama to bring a story to life. 
  • Writing:  We will begin finishing our Nonfiction All About Books as we publish our work.
  • Math:  We will finish our addition unit.
  • Science:  We will continue to talk about force and motion, pushes and pulls, paths of motion, and how sound travels. 
The calendar is starting to fill as we move into the second half of the year...while I highlight some events in my update, and list others in the "Important Dates" section of this blog, please be sure to visit the Pinebrook homepage and read the weekly Puma Paw for the most up-to-date information.

I'll see many of you on Friday at our Valentine's Day party.
