Can you get over the weather this week?! We enjoyed some extra recess on Tuesday and Wednesday so we could enjoy the sunshine. I hope you were able to enjoy it too! :) It sounds like the kiddos spend some extra time outside at home as well!

STEAM Expo is coming Friday, March 2nd! This is our last call for volunteers and materials for this fun day. If you are able to help, please volunteer by clicking HERE.

Pinebrook Read-a-Thon:
Monday, February 26th will mark the start of our Pinebrook Read-a-Thon. All money raised will be used to purchase books for classroom libraries and additional reading resources. Please refer to the flyer I sent home yesterday in your child's Thursday folder for complete information about the Read-a-Thon. At this point, please concentrate on helping your child create his/her personal fundraising page, which he/she will use to track both reading time and donations. I will give 2 Puma Paws to any student who creates his/her personal page.
Focus Areas for the Coming Week:

- Writing- We will continue to work on writing small moment stories with independence
- Math- We will continue our place value unit and learn to compare and contrast with greater than, less than, and equal to

Please let me know if you have any questions, comments, or concerns.
