Congratulations to the PARKTON
BRUINS & SECOND HARVEST
FOOD BANK SOUTHEAST NORTH
CAROLINA / BACKPACK PROGRAM
for a much needed partnership! This
partnership provides healthy snacks
for children by continuing to meet their
nutritional needs on the weekends and
school vacations when other
resources are not available. This
program also fosters independence as
they are easy to prepare & quite tasty!
Our teachers are showing their
creativity, posting test strategies in the
hallways. Making sure everyone has
the tools to get ready for End of Grade
Testing.
April PAWS winner was 1st grade!!
Congrats on your hard work. The
P.B.I.S. PAWS program has been very
effective in increasing desired
behaviors in our focus areas across
the grade levels. Since implementing
the program in December we have had
greater staff
involvement
and more ontarget
behaviors in all
areas.
The kids
are really driven
to do well at all
times, and not
just in their classrooms. Success!
First Graders have been busy
learning about plants. We have
learned the parts, and what a plant
needs in order to survive. The first
graders have planted sunflower seeds
and are anxiously awaiting to see
growth. We have also relaxed by
visiting Millstone Theatre and watching
the movie "The Croods" and enjoying
lunch at CiCi's pizza.
The 4th grade Bumblebee team is
in extensive review for the upcoming
EOG standardized tests. Planned
interventions have been designed
within our grade level to ensure all
Pembroke Elementary
students the opportunity to do their
best on the test! We are also very
excited about the implementation of
the Daily 5 reading structure into our
classes. Two of our 4th grade teachers
had the recent opportunity to witness
the Daily 5 program in full force and it
was a wonderful experience creating
great enthusiasm for next year!
May 10th was our Family Fun Day.
Fourth grade has been working hard to
be ‘Footloose’ on the black top that
day! We are looking forward to all of
our Pembroke Elementary families
joining us for the celebration.
Congratulations to our participants
in the 2013 Special Olympics.
Students ran, jumped and threw with
all their might bringing back many
ribbons to show their achievements.
Our K-5 students have
been excited about studying life cycles
of flowers, frogs, ladybugs, chicks,
and butterflies. Our caterpillars have
become chrysalis and we are patiently
waiting to see butterflies break out so
we can set them free.
This year we have worked hard
learning about coins and money, as
well as, supermarket words. We will
demonstrate our skills in a trip to Wal-
Mart, Dollar Tree and Taco Bell, where
we will have a treasure hunt finding
items and making purchases.
We finished our NC Extend I
testing with success and continue to
BEE ALL WE CAN BEE!!!
Computer Club has worked hard
this year as they completed multiple
technology projects and fundraisers
selling Photos with Santa, Valentine
gifts, and this month Mothers day
gifts. We have had our share of fun
too, with an Easter egg hunt and
celebration, and a future trip to the
skating ring.
