Pre-K Open House Reminder

Just a reminder for our Pre-K families:

Pine Grove's Open House will be held on October 27. Pre-K will not be participating in the Open House this year, as the Pre-K teachers will be attending our mandatory Early Childhood Education Conference. As previously shared, there will be no Pre-K classes October 27-29.

Thank you for your understanding! We look forward to seeing our little Tigers back on Friday!

🎉 Making a Ten and Taking the WIN! 🔟🏆
During the first quarter, we set a school-wide goal to become fluent in making a ten! Our students have been working incredibly hard in their classrooms and even in the hallways to build their fluency skills. 💪🧠
Today, our grade levels went head-to-head in a little friendly competition to show off their Make a Ten skills! The excitement was contagious, and we loved seeing our students put their hard work into action! 🎯✨
🏆 Congratulations to our 1st place winners in grades 2–5! 🏆
We are so proud of our students for their hard work, determination, and growing math confidence! Keep practicing, keep competing, and keep making those tens! 💛🔟
At Pine Grove Elementary, we’re building math fluency one ten at a time! 🐯🧡
