STAFF OF THE WEEK
Staff of the Week
Mr. Belfiori
This week’s Staff of the Week is kind, funny, and respectful. He always has time to spend doing fun things with his students while in the classroom. He makes sure that they have an understanding of what they are being taught during math class. Congratulations to the 5 Red Math Teacher, Mr. Belfiori!
Silverbrook Read-a-thon
Make your child a Silverbrook SuperReader!
Silverbrook's Read-a-thon, our only fundraiser run by the Silverbrook PTO, kicks off at today's afternoon assembly. Ask them to show you the packet they receive, including information about the Read-a-thon, pledge options, a reading log, a collection log and prizes they can earn for participation. Families need to have a Pledgestar account set up in order for their student to participate. (Cash and checks can still be turned in, the PTO will credit those to your Pledgestar account.)
Key Dates to Remember:
- November 1-15 - Get Pledges and READ, READ, READ!
- November 18-26 - Collect and turn in your pledges and tracking sheet
- December 20 - All School Read-a-thon celebration.
We have had great success with this program and hope your child has a great experience participating in the Silverbrook Read-a-thon this school year!

What drinks can my child have at school?
Students at Silverbrook can carry in water to stay on their person throughout the day. At lunch, students are able to have water, juice and/or milk. No soda, coffee or energy drinks should be sent to school with students. We appreciate your support with this matter.
Second Step
Week of 11/11/2024 5th Grade Lesson: What Can I Change? Summary: In this week’s lesson, your child will practice identifying things that a person can or can’t change in a recurring situation that causes them to feel a strong emotion. Then they will focus on the things that can be changed to recommend something the person could think or do differently to manage their emotions in the future. Try This at Home: Ask your child if there’s anything coming up at school that makes them feel a strong emotion, like nervous, frustrated, or stressed. Ask them what they could think or do differently to make the situation easier to handle. 6th Grade Emotions and Your Brain Summary: In this week’s lesson, your child will learn how different parts of their brains play a part in managing their strong emotions. Question: Ask your child to teach you about some of the different parts of the brain and how they manage emotions. Look up a picture or video of the brain and learn some more!
