Room 26 Updates and Reminders

Hello Families,

I hope everyone is having a great weekend! Don't forget that this week is spirit week in honor of Dr. Seuss' birthday. Tomorrow is CRAZY HAIR DAY! I can't wait to see what the kids show up with :-)

Read-a-Thon:
Pinebrook's Read-a-Thon officially start tomorrow. Make sure your child goes online nightly to log the number of minutes they read at home. I will log the minutes they read at school. Help your child share their page so that they can collect donations to support getting more books put into teacher's classroom libraries. Any dollar amount will help the school :-)

STEAM Day:
Third grade is still in DESPERATE need of volunteers for STEAM Day this Friday. If you are able to volunteer for an hour, it would help the day run smoothly. Please use the sign-up genius here to pick a time slot that works for you. Thanks in advance for your help!

Caps/Lids Update:
We have collected 300 pounds towards our 500 pound goal! Over halfway there! Thanks for your continued support in collecting and sending in those caps and lids. Don't forget that third grade will be hosting a parent's night out on Friday, March 16th for all students at Pinebrook. Cost will be $25 per family and all proceeds will go towards funding the trip to Indiana and purchasing the trash can. Students will be given pizza and water and will enjoy watching a movie with friends while parents can enjoy an evening alone (before spring break!)We will be sending home RSVP slips later in this week so keep a look out for those!

Dig It Play:
Students have been rehearsing in school for their Dig It play about Ancient Civilizations. Some students will be assigned speaking parts so please help your child rehearse if they have lines to remember. As we get closer to the event, I will send home information about what clothes students should wear for the performance (usually dark pants and white shirt). The play will be Friday, March 16th from 8:30am-9:30am. I will send more updates as needed!
