FIFTH GRADE RESIDENCY REVERIFICATION - School personnel will be available on May 14th, (10:00 AM -12:00 PM and 1:00-3:00 PM) to verify the following required documents: five (5) original documents from the parent/guardian, including photo identification, one of the following documents providing proof of domicile: Deed or lease including all signature pages, official title, mortgage coupon book, real estate tax bill or receipt, and three pieces of business mail or documentation dated within sixty (60) days of the date submitted. All documents must reflect the same address. Failure to provide transition year residency verification will result in the withdrawal of your child.

SHARED DOMICILE DISCLOSURE RENEWAL - The Shared Domicile Renewal Form must be signed and dated by parent/guardian and homeowner. Three original pieces of mail (dated within the last 60 days) and original photo identification of parent/guardian must be presented to office personnel. Failure to renew shared domicile living arrangements will result in the withdrawal of your child by the school.

As we celebrate our teachers and staff for Staff Appreciation Week every May, sometimes we forget the impact that teachers and staff possess. Schools are busy places, and teachers are busy people, so it’s not surprising that sometimes we miss out on chances to stop and reflect upon the influence that they yield over the young people in our care. Often, it’s the little conversations, the easily-forgotten asides, the friendly smile or brief compliment that mean the most to people – and while teachers are busily preparing for the next event or by the time it comes to write the next report or plan the next lesson, those words can and will remain with them for a very long time, shaping their thoughts and actions.

So, thank you to all the teachers out there. To show you how powerful you are, as individuals and as a profession, we want to take the time to THANK YOU for your tireless efforts and dedication!

Glyndon Families, how will you take the time to thank the teacher or teachers who, in his or her inimitable way, has helped to change your child’s life for the better?

Thank you for your extension of gratitude,

Tracy M. Robinson,

Principal

In Ms. Thomson's class, students are beginning to explore growth over time by investigating gardens and the living things within them. They will learn what plants need to grow, what creatures live in and benefit gardens, and how people grow gardens for food. We will also build on concepts of letters and sounds as we blend sounds into words. Our class will also have the opportunity to consider social problems and think of novel solutions, particularly involving ways to cooperate.

Happy May! PreK friends are busy growing and taking care of our class garden. In April, we planted radish and bean seeds and watched them sprout. In May, we will watch them grow into seedlings. The children will grow zinnias and grass from seeds this month. Students are learning how important water, sun and soil are for plant growth. We will learn about the life cycles of animals this month including frogs, worms, and butterflies! We have just received our baby caterpillars and look forward to watching them grow and change.

In phonics, we will continue to focus on letters Hh, Qq, Xx, Ww, Yy and Zz and their sounds. Students are blending sounds into words and applying letter-sound knowledge to their writing. PreK friends are listening for rhyming words in stories and poems.

In math, we are adding two groups to find the total number of objects. Students will learn to count on when adding two numbers by starting at the largest number and then counting on to find a total. Students will work with 2-D shapes: rhombus, hexagon, and rectangle.

Thank you for your continued support!

Wow! May already! We have been working hard and learning new skills! As we head into May, we will continue to practice our foundational skills. For phonics, we will be learning our long vowel sounds and comparing short and long vowel sounds in words. We will learn how to spell words using long vowel sounds. We will continue to work on blending, segmenting, and fluently reading our decodables.

In math, we will finish our Unit 7 and start our Unit 8. This unit focuses on review/extension of skills and concepts associated with the major content, such as addition and subtraction, using coins, measuring objects, counting by 2s, and place value of tens and ones. In reading, we will finish exploring and looking at things closely.

In our Module 8 for reading, we will learn how plants become food. We will find out how bugs, worms, snakes, and even skunks help us grow the seeds, roots, stems, leaves, and flowers that we eat. As we are exploring our gardens and animals, we will be making predictions, step by step sequence, compare and contrast, and the author’s purpose for our stories.

We will finish our last science unit of squirrels! Then, we will start our last Health Unit: A Healthier Me! We will learn how to keep our bodies healthy like washing our hands, and healthy foods.

Please continue to practice letter recognition, blending words, adding and subtracting, identifying basic shapes (circle, square, rectangle, triangle, hexagon, trapezoid, and rhombus) and reading stories to your child! We appreciate all of your support, if you need anything, please reach out to us! We look forward to continuing our learning every day!

We would appreciate it if you could be willing to provide wipes and tissues to your classroom teacher as we are continuing to be low on cleaning supplies! Thank you!

As we enter the final weeks of first grade, we are still working hard at learning the skills we need to be prepared for second grade.

In reading we are reading about a variety of plants and watching them “grow” before our very eyes. In this module, students will learn about the life cycles and characteristics of plant life as we read informational texts, fiction, and poetry. Students will explore the great variety in the plant world as well as how plants grow and survive from season to season. Students will uncover many of the reasons why people grow and protect plants.

In math, students are working on Unit 7 which focuses on place value. During this unit, first graders continue to develop a deeper understanding of numbers to 120 as they estimate, count, compare, add, and subtract two-digit quantities using familiar models: sticks & bundles; dimes, nickels, and pennies; and the number line.

As always, thank you for your continued support at home, and please contact us with any questions or concerns.

*Please remember to bring a water bottle to school each day!*

Happy May! We are all back from Spring Break and refreshed and ready to get back to work! Just as May flowers bloom, so do our second graders. We are all looking forward to our field trip to the Baltimore Zoo at the end of the month. This trip will align perfectly with our new reading unit in which we focus on animals and their habitats!

In Reading, our module is Home Sweet Habitat. Our essential question is “How do living things in a habitat depend on each other?” We will be learning about different animal habitats and the animals that live there. We will read about animals that make their homes in forests, oceans, and deserts. We will also learn how different habitats meet the basic needs of the animals that live there. Students will be asking and answering questions about the texts, analyzing figurative language, and using various text features to enhance our comprehension of the texts. The children will then write a research report about an animal and its relationship with others.

In Mathematics, we will continue working in Unit 7 Measurement, Fractions & Multi-Digit Computation. Students will estimate, measure, and compare the lengths of objects in centimeters and meters. They will also split whole shapes into 2, 3, 4, or 8 equal parts called halves, thirds, fourths/quarters or eighths. Finally, they will solve, pose, and write addition, subtraction, and money story problems involving 2- and 3-digit numbers.

Please remember to check your child’s take-home folder daily to see what work is being done and for information on any upcoming events. As always, students need to be reading daily and completing homework. Since the weather is warming up, please send in a water bottle with your child each day to use after recess and as needed during the warmer days. Finally, don’t forget you can check up on your child’s academic progress at any time by accessing Schoology. If you have any questions, please reach out to us at any time with questions or concerns.

As always, we thank you for your continued support and cooperation!

Welcome May! We are in the home stretch to prepare for the end of our 2024-2025 school year! We are so proud of our students’ perseverance and diligence towards their learning!

In Language Arts, we have begun Module 9, From Farm to Table, which focuses on answering the essential question, “How does food get to your table?” In this module, students will listen to, read, and view a variety of texts and media that present them with information about where our food comes from. A genre focus on informational text that provides students with opportunities to identify text structure, central idea, and text and graphic features in order to better understand unfamiliar texts. Students will also encounter video to build knowledge across genres. As students build their vocabulary and synthesize topic knowledge, they will learn that a food’s journey to our table often begins on a farm.

In Math, we have begun working on our seventh unit of third grade. This unit, titled Extending Multiplication & Fractions, is a review of material covered earlier in the year, as well as opportunities to extend skills and concepts into work with larger numbers and bigger ideas. Students will be working with multiplication beyond the basic facts which will provide rich opportunities to review the commutative and distributive properties of multiplication. Students will also work with fractions as parts of a set as well as a part of a whole. Finally, we will end the unit with data collection, representation, and interpretation.

In Advanced Math, Ms. Kagel’s class is continuing to work on their 9th unit, Fractions and Decimals. We are looking forward to continuing to explore new concepts pertaining to fractions and decimals!

In Social Studies we are working diligently on Unit 3, Maryland Geography and Economics. In this unit, students will use several maps to examine the relationships between Maryland’s economic centers and its geographic regions throughout the unit. Students will see how the geography of Maryland has impacted the availability of careers and jobs in many places.

The third-grade team thanks you for your encouragement, support and participation in your child’s learning this year!

This will be a month filled with multiple chances to demonstrate our knowledge and skills, as we continue to forge toward standardized testing. Remember: Attendance is super important. Come to school on time every day. Also, check Schoology regularly to keep up to date with assignments and aware of grades in “real time.”

In ELA, we will begin Module 9 where we explore the question: What can people do to care for our planet? We will work in small groups to reteach and enrich the content to meet the needs of all learners.

In Mathematics, fourth grade students will continue to work on Unit 8 and 9 while Advanced Math will continue with Unit 9. Keep practicing your math facts at home because knowing those facts makes us more efficient mathematicians.

In Social Studies we will explore The English Colonists in the New World.

As the Maryland weather continues to surprise us, please make sure students dress in layers so they can regulate their comfort throughout the day and sneakers to play outside safely. Remember to bring a water bottle every day to stay hydrated. Also, now is a great time to replenish supplies. We are always in need of pencils, glue sticks, dry erase markers and tissues. Thanks in advance for any donations you can provide.

Hello fifth grade families! Can you believe it’s already May? Your fifth grade student has worked hard all year to prepare for middle school. We can’t wait to see what they accomplish in the future! Fifth grade students will be participating in a carnival on May 29th. This is an event that they will earn the privilege of attending based on behavior. Information was shared with families regarding this event and behavior expectations, but please let us know if you have any questions or concerns. Now, let’s move on to academics.

In ELA, students have begun Module 9: Unexpected and Unexplained. In this module, students will listen to, read, and view a variety of texts and media that present them with information about mysteries. A genre focus on mystery provides students with opportunities to make inferences, to make and confirm predictions, and to identify literary elements and figurative language in order to better understand unfamiliar texts. Students will also encounter informational text to build knowledge across genres. As students build their vocabulary and synthesize topic knowledge, they will learn about different types of intriguing mysteries and the methods people use to try to solve them.

In Math 5, students are continuing to move through Unit 7: Division and Decimals. Students are focused on how multiplication and division are related. For example, how can 125 divided by 7 be written as a multiplication problem? There is a strong focus on working through a variety of story problems related to the real world; in other words, how can we apply what we are learning to our everyday lives? Students are introduced to division of decimal numbers and learning a variety of division strategies in order to be successful with the skill.

In Advanced Math, students are working through Unit 6: Percentage Increase and Decrease. In this unit, students use ratios, scale factors, unit rates (also called constants of proportionality), and proportional relationships to solve multi-step, real-world problems that involve fractions and percentages. They are using long division to write fractions presented in the form 𝑎𝑏 as decimals. They are learning to understand and use the terms “repeating decimal,” “terminating decimal,” “percent increase,” “percent decrease,” “percent error,” and “measurement error.” They represent amounts and corresponding percent rates with double number line diagrams and tables. They have been using these terms and representations in reasoning about situations involving sales taxes, tips, markdowns, markups, sales commissions, interest, depreciation, and scaling a picture. Students are using equations to represent proportional relationships in which the constant of proportionality arises from a percentage, for example, the relationship between price paid and amount of sales tax paid.

In Social Studies, students are engaging in Unit 3: A New Government. Students are working toward answering the essential question, “How did the framers form a government that creates a more perfect union”. Building on their knowledge of the thirteen colonies and the Revolutionary War, students will learn about different events that led to the creation of our constitution.

As always, if you have any questions please reach out to your child’s teacher. We are excited to begin the countdown to the last day of school! We know our fifth graders will continue to work hard to end the year on a positive note. Thank you for your continued support!

Fifth grade students will be learning about college and career readiness by exploring a variety of careers. Students are encouraged to return books each week before getting any new books.

A math question a day keeps the summer slide away! There are lots of ways to keep your student(s) engaged with math concepts throughout the summer.

• Find or create patterns (repeating or growing) using leaves, sticks, or other natural objects.
• Talk to your child about the value of money, what each coin is called, and how much it is worth (in cents, fractions, and decimals). Given an amount, how much more is needed to make $1? Use dimes, nickels, or quarters to practice skip-counting by 10s, 5, or 25s.
• Use rocks, sticks, or leaves to practice addition, multiplication, or division equations.
• Discuss and chart the temperature each day or week. How much has it increased or decreased? What is the difference between the high and the low?
• Practice time by pointing out analog clocks where applicable and reading the time. Ask how much more time until the next hour. Discuss if it is a.m. or p.m. What fraction of an hour has passed? Use a clock to practice counting by 5s, 15s, or 30s.
• Cook with your student! Discuss converting measurements (between milliliter (mL) and liters (L) or between cups and pints, etc.), adding or doubling fractions, equivalent fractions, how much more is needed to make 1 whole, etc.
• Develop number sense by playing some number riddle games while riding in the car or waiting in line. Think of a number such as 124. Then give clues to help your student guess your number. For example, the number has 3 digits. The ones digit is the number of sides of a trapezoid. The tens digit is half of the ones digit. The hundreds digit is the same as 5-4. Then, switch roles!
• Practice math facts about 10 minutes each day. You could play a game such as War with a deck of cards (Uno cards will work too). Split the deck in half and each player turns over a card. Whoever says the sum (or product) first takes both cards. The winner is the player with the most cards when time is up.

Finally, visit mathkicks.org for engaging images or videos with accompanying questions that cover a range of topics so all siblings can participate in the discussion. The Parent Institute’s Summer Learning Spotlight is another excellent resource for ideas to incorporate math during the summer months.

During the month of May in physical education class, students in all grade levels will be cup stacking. Cup stacking is a great activity to improve hand-eye coordination that will carry over into other sports and activities! Students will learn how to perform the 3 sequences in Cup Stacking: 3-3-3, 3-6-3, and the Cycle. Students will be able to time themselves to see how fast they can upstack and downstack the cups and that will motivate them to try to get a faster time.

Field Day will be Wednesday, May 28 (rain date Monday, June 2)! AM PS/PK3's, PK4's, KG, 1st, & 2nd graders will be outside on the fields from 9:30 – 11 AM. 4s, PM PS/PK3's, PK4's, 3rd, 4th, & 5th graders will be outside on the fields from 1:00 – 2:30 PM. Flyers have been sent home but if you would like to volunteer your time and help out at one of the 20 stations, I would GREATLY appreciate the help! You can email me at smaher@bcps.org. Volunteers need to be at least 18 years old and be volunteer approved (completed the application and online training). If you need to do those requirements, I can give you the information you will need to be approved. Thank you so much for all your continued support.

Since the weather is continuing to get nicer outside, please remember to wear sneakers on the day that you have PE so that you can participate safely in class! Remember to exercise every day for at least 60 minutes!

Hello, families! At Glyndon, we use virtue language to encourage and acknowledge responsibility and respect. This calendar contains the weekly virtues in the current month. Each day will have an activity that is assigned based on the weekly virtue. If your scholar participates in this activity, have them color in the box. When your scholar brings the completed calendar back to school at the end of the month, they will be entered into a raffle to win a prize! For every 5 activities completed, they will earn a raffle ticket, therefore increasing their chances of winning if they complete the whole month (ex. 20 days completed = 4 raffle tickets). Best of luck to your scholars as they continue to live the virtues!

May Classroom Lesson:

For this month's lesson, the theme for students in grades PreK - 4 is mindfulness. This important skill helps children by improving their focus, emotional regulation, and overall well-being. By practicing mindfulness—such as deep breathing or paying attention to their senses—students learn to manage stress, reduce anxiety, and stay present in the moment.

Students in grade 5 will focus on the transition to middle school. Preparing for the transition is crucial for their confidence and academic success. This will be the last classroom lesson for the school year!

Mental Health Awareness Week:

May is National Mental Health month, and we are raising awareness for mental health. Mental Health is how we think, feel, and behave. There will be a spirit week from 5/5 – 5/8 to celebrate Mental Health Awareness. Please be on the lookout for flyers.

Kindergarten and 1st grade vocal music students are exploring their voices with high and low. They are additionally singing echo songs (both as a group and individually), are improvising with their singing voices, and are moving expressively to various classical pieces. They are also individually keeping a beat to music on various instruments.

2nd grade students are reviewing known solfege pitches Sol, Mi and La, and are exploring the new solfege pitch Do by singing, moving, and playing games.

3rd grade students continue to solidify their knowledge of various dynamic levels and are adding to their vocabulary and experience both crescendo and decrescendo.

4th and 5th grade students are learning the I, IV, and V chords of a major scale, and are playing instruments using these chords in the key of C major.

Spring has sprung. The trees are budding, and flowers are blooming. This means ALLERGY SEASON. Please make sure your child is getting their allergy medication prior to coming to school. This also is the time to have medications updated in the Health Suite. Asthma coincides with seasonal allergies so please make sure your child has inhaler or nebulizer treatment orders at school. The RN and Health Assistant cannot give any medications without a doctor’s order. This includes over the counter medications or prescriptions for antibiotics. Students may not give medications to themselves in elementary school. This is a BCPS policy.

Plan on making your yearly physicals with updated vaccinations. MMR or MMRV are given between 4 to 6 years of age. In Maryland, Health Care Providers give the vaccines at the 5-year-old physical. The vaccine is required for all students entering Kindergarten in Maryland. All students starting school must have a physical, dental, lead screening and vaccination compliance. If you have any questions, please contact Nurse Ridgell at 443-809-6948, or fax doctor’s orders to 443-809-1131.

Hello Glyndon Families,

As we head into the spring, we want to remind you how important regular attendance is for your child’s success. The final months of school are packed with critical learning opportunities, and everyday counts! Let’s work together to avoid the "spring slump" by ensuring your child is present and engaged. Remember, even a few missed days can add up and impact their progress. Thank you for your partnership in helping your child be Here For It and finish the school year strong!

I am available at any time if you need resources or questions, please feel free to contact me,

Ms. Martin, CARE Liaison smartin12@bcps.org 443-809-1867
