We hope you enjoyed the 3-day weekend! Just a reminder that the coming weeks will be so important as we continue to learn new material, as well as review previously learned concepts. Please continue to emphasize the importance of focus on instruction, positive classroom behavior, completion of daily homework assignments, and preparation for quizzes, tests, and projects.
We continue to recognize and reward students daily for following the “Glen Allen 3 – Respect, Responsibility, and Safety.” House Tharros had a blast at the Luau Party last Friday while the rest of the students enjoyed some fun Luau themed events in class. Who will be the winner of the 4th nine weeks House competition? Don’t forget that every Wednesday students should show their house pride by wearing their house colors!

Math: In math we will be determining area, perimeter and then volume of shapes. An open notes quiz on area and perimeter will be on Thursday, April 21.
Reading: April is Poetry Month! This week students will enjoy completing their poetry notebook, as well as some poetry games. Be sure that you ask your child to share some of their creative poems with you! We will also spend time reviewing skills we have learned this year.
Our weekly vocabulary, Greek & Latin #14, will focus on the root astr (star) and the prefixes di and bi (two) and tri (three).
Science: It’s all about the oceans in science this week! We will begin by learning about the parts of the ocean floor and then move into understanding the tides and the animals that live in different parts of the ocean.
Social Studies: Students will put the final touches on the in class project on the Midwest. This project is an excellent way to review what they have learned about this region. A test on the Midwest Region is scheduled for Wednesday, April 20th. To prepare for the test, students are expected to complete the Midwest study guide (Midwest Study Guide) that students received last Tuesday. The study guide is due on Tuesday, April 19th and counts toward the social studies homework grade.
