Important Dates and a Peek at our Week!

 


Happy last Friday before Winter Break!

Next week is a B Week
Asynchronous (on your own) Specials: PE

Winter Break
There seems to be some confusion as to when Winter Break starts. We still have school on Monday and Tuesday of next week. Winter break is from Wednesday, December 23rd- Friday, January 1st. Our first day back is Monday, January 4th. 


***All afternoon groups will be cancelled next Tuesday, Dec. 22nd. 

Holidays Around the World
This year Mrs. Allen and I are working together to do Holidays Around the World. Mrs. Allen and I will each be teaching about two different holidays. This will take place on Tuesday, Dec. 22nd. Your child doesn't have to move to any other google meet, all the students will stay in their homeroom google meet. The teachers will be the ones switching. Here is the schedule of events:
8:50 - 9:15 Mrs. Peet: Hanukkah
9:20 - 9:45 Mrs. Allen: Diwali
9:45 - 10:00 Break
10:00 - 10:25 Mrs. Peet: Chinese New Year
10:30 - 10:55 Mrs. Allen: Ramadan

Seesaw
As we come up on winter break, please make sure all assignments in Seesaw are completed. Monday, the asynchronous day, is a great day to get caught up on all work!

Cognitive Abilities Test- CogATs
The Cognitive Abilities Test (CogAT) administration for second grade students, scheduled for February, 2021, will be postponed. This assessment will be rescheduled and administered in the fall when students are back in school in person. The results from the CogAT are used as one part of the gifted education identification process. If you have any questions, you may contact the Office of Assessment Services or the Office of Gifted Education.


Study Guides Button on Schoology
I have added a button to my Schoology page that will contain all the Science and Social Studies study guides for each unit that we will cover. If your child needs some extra guidance and review on a subject we covered in class please use the study guides!

Pinebrook Holiday Shop Goes Virtual!  

Our annual Holiday Shop is a fun tradition for Pumas interested in buying small gifts for themselves and their family. In the past, the pop-up store was available for students to browse during school hours. This year, our shop has moved online! Your student can visit the website to make their selections, and the items will be delivered directly to Pinebrook! Pickup times will be announced later in the month, and items will still include gift wrap for Pumas wanting to surprise friends and family with their presents! The store is open now until December 9th, with delivery dates announced soon.
Here's the link for students to shop:
