Weekly Update

Hi Everyone!

I know how much the kids loved the snow! This was the best kind of snow...it snowed enough for the kids to play and enjoy, and then it melted quickly! It's finally time for spring and warmer weather!

We are all excited for Spring Break! Here are a few things for you to know before our time off...

Pinebrook Triple Play:
With school cancelled yesterday, the Triple Play was also cancelled. Please watch for communication from the Pinebrook office regarding a make-up date. This event will be rescheduled.

Spring Break Reading Incentive:
Your child will bring home a Spring Break reading incentive today. This completed reading incentive is due on Tuesday, April 3rd. It is optional, but highly encouraged!

No School April 2nd and April 9th:
Friendly reminder that BOTH April 2nd and April 9th are Teacher Workdays/Professional Development days. The kids do not have school.

Yearbooks:
Pinebrook yearbooks are on sale now! Yearbooks may only be purchased online. To purchase a yearbook, go to ybpay.lifetouch.com and enter school code 7561118. You will be prompted through the order and payment process. The deadline to order a yearbook is April 29th. You must pre-order a yearbook if you would like your child to receive one.

Focus Areas for the Week after Spring Break:

• Reading-We will continue to learn about how to be a reading boss and use multiple strategies to decode tricky/harder words. When one strategy doesn't work, we try something else and keep trying. (Please encourage your child to try their strategies at home instead of telling them an unknown word).
• Writing- We are editing our small moments to add more details, write in a sequence, check for spelling, and use correct capital letters and punctuation. We will also complete a writing assessment to demonstrate growth in our writing. 
• Math- We will continue our Geometry unit by identifying the number of sides and vertices of plane shapes. 
• Science-We will continue to learn about matter and the states of matter: solid, liquid, and gas

Do you have something fun planned for Spring Break? I plan on lots of coffee and reading! Enjoy your time off! :)
