Many thanks to those who were able to attend our ABC's of Thanksgiving yesterday. The kids love having you visit the classroom and I appreciate the time you take from your busy schedule to validate their efforts by attending our programs.
We have a short week coming up and then 5 wonderful days to spend with family and food! Here's what you need to know for next week's short week and the week after...
Quarter 1 Report Cards:
A friendly reminder that Quarter 1 report cards were issued on Wednesday. If you've not yet done so, please log into your ParentVue account to view your child's report card.
Thanksgiving Travel:
If your child will be absent next week, and/or will be leaving early on Tuesday, please kindly both the office and me in advance. For absences, you may use the online absence excuse found on the Pinebrook homepage, or by clicking HERE. For early dismissal, you may use the early dismissal found on the Pinebrook homepage, or by clicking HERE.
School Picture Retakes:
School Picture Retakes will be on Monday, November 20th. Picture retakes are for those students who were absent on picture day, or students who paid for a picture package and would like to have the photos redone. If you believe of these apply to you, your child can have their picture taken on Monday. **Information about this is in an earlier post in my blog.
No Sight Word Homework Next Week:
There will be no sight word homework next week due to it being a short week. PLEASE READ! Remember...reading isn't just homework...reading is life! :)
Scholastic Book Fair:
The Scholastic Book Fair will be held at school the week of November 27th. Students will preview the Book Fair on Tuesday. Students who bring money may shop at the Book Fair during recess the week of November 27th-December 1st. (Please do NOT send money on Tuesday...this is only a preview day for students to browse.) If your child plans to bring money for the Book Fair, please send money in a sealed envelope marked with your child's name, my name, and "Book Fair" on the outside of the envelope. If you would like to attend the Book Fair to shop with your child, our Family Shopping Night will be Wednesday, November 29th from 3:00pm-6:00pm.
Timeline Project:
I sent home your child's "Look At Me Now" Timeline Project in yesterday's Thursday folder. Please review the information in the letter and let me know if you have any questions. Timeline projects will be due no later than, Wednesday, December 6th. If your child has his/her Timeline project completed before that date, feel free to send it in early.
Focus Areas for the Coming Short Week (11/20-11/21) AND the Week of 11/27-12/1:
- Reading- We will continue to work on our Word Detective Unit.
- Writing-We will continue our Thanksgiving writing and finish up with handwriting lessons
- Math-We will continue to learn how to recognize and create patterns. We will also be finishing up our Patterns Unit.
- Social Studies- We will finish our Long Ago and Today unit. We will begin our Economics unit. We will explore the concepts of wants and needs, goods and services, and consumers and producers.
I hope you all have a wonderful Thanksgiving! I am very excited to travel back to Pennsylvania for a few days to see all of my family! I wish you all safe travels! Enjoy!
