Pine Lane Crew,
While remote learning and teaching is not where we want to be, I am incredibly proud of our students and staff. Yesterday and today I have been able to touch base with each of our grade levels. Time and time again they remarked on the high level of engagement from our students.
Thank you for your collaboration with us to ensure that your child is accessing their meets and then completing learning activities. And thank you to our teachers for finding creative ways to keep students motivated and coming back each day. Remote Learning Bingo, Live Lesson Trivia, short dance parties, the Dinosaur Stomp (I heard some parents got into that one.), Jumping Jack ABC’s, and more have helped to keep students motivated and excited to attend all day.
Know that we long to be with your children in person. And again thank you for prioritizing your child's education and valuing the work our staff is doing.
I have just a few reminders for this week. In collaboration with the Coffee Cabin, we are running our Warm and Fuzzy and Toy Drive. These efforts go towards our Holiday Shop to support many of our Crew. Donations of coats, warm clothes, toys and gift cards are being collected for us at the Coffee Cabin or at the school office between 8 am - 4 pm. Next week is Spirit Week we hope to see everyone’s patriotic attire for Pearl Harbor Day on Monday. Please drop any fun pictures here. We are also in the middle of completing our mid year iReady Diagnostic Assessment. Please assist us in ensuring your child has a place to complete that assessment distraction free. This will help us get an accurate picture of their progress.
Have a wonderful weekend! And I’d encourage all of us to see if we can put down the devices.
