It was a blast celebrating Read Across America week last week! We will continue with the Go Nuts for Reading program. Bookmarks were sent home with students last week. Please note that each HAT can be colored for 30 minutes of reading OUTSIDE of school on a TRADITIONAL book, not an online platform.
Don’t forget that this week is a 4-day school week as schools will be closed on Friday, 3/11.

Yearbook: It’s that time of the year to get in your yearbook orders! The cost for the yearbook is $24. You can purchase through our PTA memberhub here: Yearbook Purchase. If you have not already done so, please be sure to complete the Yearbook Permission Form to ensure that your child/ren can be represented in the annual yearbook. A “no” response means your child/ren cannot have their picture included anywhere in the yearbook. Fifth grade families – now is the time to place your Yearbook Ad Order. Follow the link for instructions and email katiehannett@gmail.com with your pictures.
We continue to recognize and reward students daily for following the “Glen Allen 3 – Respect, Responsibility, and Safety.” To date, House Tharros (purple) continues to be in the lead by 12 points with the other four houses close behind. Be sure to show your House pride by wearing your House colors every Wednesday.
To help with the automaticity of multiplication facts we are excited to start our Multiplication Sundae Incentive this week! Students will work to master each of the times tables starting with the 2’s and up to the 12’s before our Ice Cream Sundae party. We have been practicing our multiplication facts at the beginning of math. Students are encouraged to practice their facts at home as well.

Reading: In reading we will continue identifying cause and effect relationships in both fiction and nonfiction text. In preparation for our HCPS writing assessment next week, we will take time to look over the narrative essays completed last week to highlight areas of success and take note of areas where improvements can be made.
Our Greek and Latin List 7 for this week includes the roots port (carry) and the prefixes com, con, co (with).
Science: We will continue with the 4th grade review unit on renewable and nonrenewable energy resources. We will have a test on this on Thursday, 3/10. Please use the study guide and notes in the science notebook, as well as the interactive notebook, to prepare for this test.
Social Studies: The students did such a great job on the Northeast License Plate project last week. Their creativity is amazing! We will wrap up our unit on the Northeast Region with a test on Tuesday, 3/8/22. Students are expected to complete the Northeast Study Guide that they received last Monday as review of this information will prepare them for the test. Completion of the study guide also counts toward the social studies homework grade.
