💙 Dress-Up Days at Pine Tree Primary 💛
We love dress-up days at Pine Tree Primary! For our young learners, dressing up can be a fun way to create concrete connections to what we are learning and make school experiences more meaningful and memorable.
We also know that dress-up days can sometimes feel like one more thing for families to do. We do NOT want families to feel like they need to spend extra money to participate! Look around your house and use what you already have. A shirt, hat, pair of socks, or simple color is perfect.
⭐ All dress-up days are OPTIONAL!
Children are always included whether they dress up or not.
🎨 Color Days
We will be reviewing colors at school! Students may wear the color of the day to help make a fun connection to their learning.

✏️ Big Skill Alert! 💙💛
One of the first and most important skills we work on at Pine Tree Primary is learning to recognize, read, and write our own names! It’s an important first step toward becoming confident readers and writers.
👏 Way to go, Miss Coleman’s class! These little Pirates have been working hard to recognize and build their names with playdough, and we are so proud of their progress! 💙💛
Parents, you can help at home too! Try practicing names with:
🟣 Playdough
✏️ Crayons, markers, or pencils
🖍️ Sidewalk chalk
☁️ Shaving cream or sand
🔤 Magnetic letters
📝 Tracing and copying their name
⭐ Lots of encouragement as they learn!

Keep practicing, Primary Pirates! 🎈 Every name is progress!
