End of Year Notes & Information

Hello Everyone!

WOW! This year has FLOWN by!!! I can't believe we only have 5 more days of school...

I have a few pieces of information for you for the end of the year. Please read everything so you don't miss any dates or info!


Teach the Teacher Presentations
These are due this FRIDAY! If your child wants to turn in their papers tomorrow, that is fine. Please remember to send me any PowerPoints or papers for copying BY TOMORROW so I can have them ready for Friday! I have decided to not input this as a specific grade in the grade book, however I did let the kids know that if they do not present/fail to prepare something, they will receive an "N" for completes assigned tasks.

Thursday Folders
This will be the last Thursday Folder! This week when your child brings home their folder, please empty it/look at the papers, then just keep it at home!

Yearbooks
Yearbooks have arrived and will be given out this Friday! If you did not order one and would like purchase a yearbook, we have some extras available for sale for $25. They will be sold starting on Monday, June 11th.

*We will be having our class party on Tuesday, June 12th in the afternoon. If your student would like to have their yearbook signed by classmates, please SEND THEIR YEARBOOK IN on this day! We will give them time to meet with other 3rd grade classes and sign eachothers' yearbooks. We will be having lunch in the room, then going outside for yearbook signing. We'll have a few fun activities in the classroom from about 1:30-2:20 that afternoon! Contact Mrs. Cruz if you would like to assist or volunteer.

Sad news - I will be leaving Pinebrook after this year
I talked to the kiddos about this yesterday, so you may have heard. I will be resigning at the end of this year. Since I am reaching the end of my School Counseling Masters program at GMU, I need to complete two internships as a counselor (one elementary, one secondary). Due to the time commitment of the internships, I am not able to work as a teacher.
I appreciate all the kind words from your kids when I told them this news. I am so very sad to be leaving - this was not an easy decision! However, I  am excited for the new adventures ahead of me. I will sincerely miss every one of my students. This has been such a wonderful year and I love them all very much! Thank you, parents and families, for all of your support throughout the year! I appreciate YOU as well!
Please stay in touch and let me know about your kiddos/families as they continue to grow and progress! If you would like, feel free to contact me to get my personal information, as my LCPS email will eventually go away.  I do plan to become a substitute, so I may still see you around Pinebrook at times!

HAPPY ALMOST SUMMER!
Smiles,
Mrs. Malley :)

This Week

Hello All!

Here's the homework/things coming up this week!

Field Day is on Wednesday!
I asked the class to try to pack their lunch that day. If they need to buy or forget, that is fine. However, due to field day and needing to change out of dirty/wet clothing, lunch is often hectic this day. If they pack, we can eat lunch in our classroom when we are all set and ready to eat. This also eliminates long lines in the cafeteria that day, as 3rd, 4th, and 5th grade all have field day so lunches will be very packed.

Teach the Teacher
These presentations are due Friday! From all the topics I have been told, I am VERY excited for these presentations! Please remember to email or send in any papers you want copied or PowerPoints you need shown AHEAD OF TIME (ie: by Thursday at the latest!) so we are prepared to start presentations on Friday.
Don't forget to hand in your lesson plan paper as well!
