Weekly Update

Hi Parents!

Happy Friday! We celebrated Dr. Seuss all week. Fine Arts Night had a great attendance and it was a lot of fun!

My update is short this week!

Pinebrook Yearbooks are on Sale:
Please click HERE for information about ordering your child's Pinebrook yearbook. Yearbook orders are optional. The deadline to order is April 24th.

Camp STEAM-tacular:
Camp STEAM-tacular is coming back to Pinebrook this summer! Please click HERE for more information about how to register your child.

Focus Areas for the Coming Week:

  • Reading-We will talk about how good readers use tools to help them understand their reading and to help them solve unknown words. 
  • Writing-We will continue our opinion writing unit. Instead of writing about a collection of items, we are now writing reviews about things like restaurants, games, toys, movies, etc. We are including details by adding reasons and giving examples. 
  • Phonics-We will continue to study words by breaking them apart and looking closely at vowel teams. 
  • Math-We will finish our quick little unit about fact families. Fact families are made up of 2 addition sentences and 2 subtraction sentences by using 3 numbers. Fact families are sometimes called "related" facts. For example:
    • 2+3=5
    • 3+2=5
    • 5-2=3
    • 5-3=2
  • Social Studies- We will begin our Maps unit. We will explore cardinal directions, map keys and map symbols, and construct a map of a familiar area. 
Please let me know if you have any questions, concerns, or feedback.

It looks like we are back to winter again for a day, before we head back into sunny warm spring weather! Enjoy your weekend! :)
