Dear Pingree Community,
Happy Sunday!
The big news this week...the 3rd grade field trip to the Commonwealth Museum! They had a blast. It was so much fun greeting them all when they came back in because they couldn't contain their excitement. Thank you to the 3rd grade teachers for organizing such a great experience for our students. Check out our large picture of the week and check out Instagram @pingree.pride!
Murphy pulled out in front of us last week (92-90 average puzzles) in ST Math, but we are hopeful to take Talbot down this week. I will keep you posted.
This week we also had "Instructional Rounds". Administrators and coaches from all around the district visited our classrooms in order to give us feedback. I know I don't have to tell the Pingree Community this, but our teachers, students and staff were absolutely amazing! There was impressive teaching and learning all throughout the school, but this is nothing new!
Please remember we have a half day this Tuesday with 11:50 dismissal. We are also celebrating music in schools all month by dressing in music t-shirts on Friday's!
We are looking forward to another great week at Pingree!
Mrs. Ronan and Mrs. Lander
