Homework This Week

Hello All!

I hope everyone is enjoying the day off today.

Looking ahead at this week, there are two different homework items happening. This week your student will have:

• Homophone Words & Homework instead of Word Study. See below for homework descriptions for each night.
• Reading Worksheet given on Tuesday, due on Friday.

I further explained the Homophone homework in a handout that I will be sending home with the kiddos tomorrow. Here is that paper in case you want to look ahead or it gets lost 😉

Comfort Cases

Here is the flyer about the Comfort Cases! Each grade level is asked to be responsible for different items. You are welcome to donate to any others as well as 3rd grade!

You can also print or see the PDF of this flyer here.

Homework, Test Dates, Cap Update

Hello All!

I know it's late in the week for this - sorry! Big things to note are:

Tomorrow - Word Study Quizzes, My math class Money Test
Jan. 26th - Ancient Greece Test
Feb. 17th - Comfort Cases packing day (see below for more info - this is a Saturday)


Cap Collection Info
We have about 30 pounds of caps so far, with just 2 classes counting! Woohoo! Please continue to collect and send in caps/lids. We have a long way to go to reach 500 POUNDS! If you're interested, you could always put a box out in your workplace or ask other family members to help as well! You can print a copy of our flyer here.


Comfort Cases
Comfort Cases is a program that collects bags and supplies for foster children. Our counselors are running a donation drive for the program . Each grade level is encouraged to bring in items to donate to the bags. Third grade is asked to donate small blankets, such as fleece or throw blankets (currently on sale for $2 at Walmart! And usually about $5 otherwise at Walmart and Target). We will have a "packing day" at Pinebrook on Saturday, Feb. 17th, in our gym. All are welcome - children too! - to help pack bags full of the donated items! You can read more about Comfort Cases on their website here.
This is not mandatory, but we appreciate anything you can give!

Updated Dates & Work

Hello Everyone!

I hope you all enjoyed some time together over our "extended weekend"! Now, back to work!

Cap Collection Update!

We currently have just about 10 pounds of plastic caps/lids! WOOHOO! 

However, this is still QUITE a bit away from 500 pounds! Ask family members, neighbors, friends, etc. to help as well! Keep collecting! If you need the flyer again, see your child's Thursday folder this week!

Snow Day Work

Hello All!

I hope everyone is enjoying their snow days!

Since we have missed two days of school, I would appreciate if you could please have your student log on to two things today or over the weekend, to stay current with what we started on Tuesday and Wednesday this week.

Please complete 2 assignments today or over weekend:
Both of these can be accessed through LCPSGo account.
1. Reading - go on RAZ Kids and read the assigned book (if they have 2, it's the FICTION book). Then, answer the quiz questions after reading.

2. Math - go on Prodigy and complete the money practice or your prodigy pre-assessment if you are still in the progress of finishing that. 

*Homework reminder:
1. Students had a reading worksheet, and my math class had a math worksheet and reflex to complete this week. We will be checking those on Monday, so make sure they are finished!
2. Please remember to read daily! Snow days are GREAT for reading books together!

*Change in quiz/test dates:
1. Water Cycle quiz will be moved to Tuesday, Jan. 9th
2. My math class Money test will be moved to Friday, Jan. 19th
