As we head into the weekend, here's some information for you...
First Grade Music Performance:
If you have not yet returned the signed slip indicating whether your child will be attending our First Grade International Music Program, please do so as soon as possible.
End of Year Literacy Assessments:
I am about to begin our end-of-year literacy assessments. Please be sure your child is reading every day...weekends included. Your child should read out loud to practice decoding and fluency, and then practice retelling the story in sequence using characters' names and providing as many details as possible. Ask your child to make a connection to the story. Ask about the author's message...What is the author trying to teach us in the story? Ask your child to identify is/her favorite part and state why.
Camp STEAM-tacular!
This summer, Pinebrook will host Camp STEAM-tacular. This is a fun-filled week of STEAM related learning and exploration, which takes place June 18th-22nd from 9:00 a.m. to 3:00 p.m. here at school. Each grade level is aligned to a particular theme. Enrollment is limited and filling up fast! You can learn more and register your child by visiting the Camp STEAM-tacular website HERE
Focus Areas for the Coming Week:
- Reading-We will study characters in books to learn about the main character and to understand how characters' feelings change throughout the story.
- Writing- We will continue to write with author's craft by studying mentor texts and then practicing editing our work.
- Social Studies- We will learn about Virginia and the United States
- Math-We will continue our Time unit. We will practice telling time to the hour and half hour.
I hope everyone had a wonderful week! Hopefully we will have some nice weather this weekend. :)
