Happy Friday! Please ask your child about the NED assembly we attended today. NED stands for Never Give Up, Encourage Others, and Do Your Best. The assembly reenforced the ideas of being a good citizen, being an upstander (someone who helps prevent bullying), and being a ready, responsible, and respectful student.
Pinebrook Triple Play:
Please join us! Our annual Pinebrook Triple Play will be Thursday, March 22nd in the gym at John Champe High School. The Triple Play usually starts between 5:45 and 6:30 p.m. This year, teachers from Pinebrook will be playing fun games against teachers from Buffalo Trail. The games are designed to make us look as silly as possible...think volleyball, tricycle races, and dizzy bats! The event starts with teacher bowling. There will be food and snacks for sale, raffles, and other fun things! The first graders lead the singing of the National Anthem before the games begin. Please watch both your Pinebrook Weekly email and your child's Thursday folder for more information, including the specific start time and admission prices.
Read-a-Thon:
We still have a few more days for our school Read-a-Thon. The class with the most sponsors will win a pizza party! I have noticed that some students have not signed up yet, so when you do email your profile to all of your close family and friends so they can support your child's reading. :) I am so proud of all the time our first grade students have been reading!!
Focus Areas for the Coming Week:
- Reading- We will learn how to be in control of our reading by being a "reading boss"
- Writing- We are using strategies to write about small moments instead of whole watermelon ideas. We are also learning strategies to spell words independently
- Math- We will be wrapping up our place value unit
- Science- We will learn about Force, Energy, and Motion
Please let me know if you have any questions or concerns.
Stay warm this weekend! Thank you!
