National School Counselor’s Week is February 7-11. In celebration there are some fun spirit days planned. For Friday, class theme day, students were asked to come prepared to share suggestions with the class on Monday so that we can take a vote on how we will represent the “Lyons’ Den!”
We continue to recognize and award students daily for following the “Glen Allen 3 – Respect, Responsibility, and Safety.” To date, House Kokoro (red) leads House Thoros (purple) by 2 points with the other three houses not far behind. Be sure to show your House pride by wearing your House colors every Wednesday!
Valentine’s Day is Monday, February 14th. Students are welcome to send in Valentine’s for each student in the class to share. Here is our class list: The Lyons’ Den

Math: We will wrap up our unit on Mean, Median, Mode, and Range. We will have a fun class activity analyzing data from the Bengals and Rams football teams in order to make predictions about who has the greatest probability to win the Super Bowl. On Friday, students will take a district benchmark to demonstrate all that they have learned in math this year. To prepare students can review notes in their math notebooks and utilize the links on our portaportal to practice the concepts we have covered. I can’t wait to see how much they have learned!
Reading: We will continue to learn about Media messages in reading this week by looking at various forms of written, auditory, visual media messages and discussing the audience the messages are intended for and their success. In celebration of Black History Month we will begin a fun in-class research project.
