I hope you enjoyed this beautiful spring weekend! We have a lot coming up in the next few weeks so be sure to note the important dates on the blog below. 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 are so excited for all the fun that Field Day will bring this Wednesday, April 27! A reminder that students should wear their Field Day T-shirts or a T-shirt in their House Color, pack a water bottle labeled with their name, and send in a lunch if you did not preorder a school lunch last week.
We continue to recognize and reward students daily for following the “Glen Allen 3 – Respect, Responsibility, and Safety.” 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!

A quiz on this material is scheduled for Friday, 4/29.
