Dear Glyndon Friends,

I received this newsletter via email from another institution and found it so relevant; I have decided to share it with you this month.

When Little Red Riding Hood ventured into the woods, it was to share her dinner with her sick grandmother. When the Three Bears came home and found that Goldilocks had eaten their porridge, they were horrified. That was an important meal and they were planning on sharing it as a family. As our lives get busier and busier, sometimes school and sleep seem to be the only two things that are inviolate. Everything else is rearranged, rescheduled or skipped, in the interest of sports, ballet classes, evening meetings, or even peace. Too often, this includes dinner.

As parents, we teach our children the moral and ethical codes that will shape their lives. When they're adults, they'll need their own strength of character and moral fortitude to make decisions more than they'll need the ability to perform a ballet plie or swing a tennis racquet. It's important to take advantage of the most opportune time of the day and not let busy schedules push family dinner hours onto the back burner. When we do, we sacrifice the teachable moments that so often arise from a casual dinnertable conversation. We also sacrifice one of the most important rituals our children will remember and cherish. To raise children with strong characters and the moral intelligence to make good decisions, we have to have conversations with them over and over. We have to be available when they have specific questions, and we have to be ready to respond when they just "happen" to mention the tip of an iceberg. The next time, that iceberg may not surface in our vicinity until it's too late.

Dinnertable conversation is also prime-time for building vocabulary, honing problem-solving skills, and encouraging the verbal skills that will be necessary for so much of a child's school success and success in later life. We are a highly verbal society and we're leaving a lot of children behind when we don't give them ample opportunity to practice these skills. Dinner is the ideal time to be uninterrupted (turn off the phone) and unhurried. When your children are sharing their day, or presenting you with a dilemma to discuss, or even just talking to siblings, don't rush off to the next event. The dishes can wait; television can wait; and even homework can wait. There's nothing more important or more valuable to your child's growth and development than "breaking bread" with family.

P.S. These thoughts were prompted by the number of children who say they are busy on their devices while they're eating meals. Not only does that rob you of the opportunities above, but the dangers of technology and social media itself...that's another newsletter.

Happy Spring, Happy Conversation,

Mrs. Robinson

Mrs. Ordakowski will be available on May 1st & May 14th, (10:00 -12:00 AM and 1:00-3:00 PM) for the following:

DEADLINE TO PROVIDE ALL DOCUMENTS: MAY 20, 2025

Happy Spring! In April, PreK will begin Unit 5, Growing Our Garden. The children will explore growth over time by investigating gardens and living things. They will learn what plants need to grow, what creatures live in and benefit gardens and how people use gardens for food. Students will read informational texts to learn about life cycles and sequence events. In their journals, the children will communicate information through drawing and emergent writing to document observations of plant growth.

In phonics, we will learn the letters Hh, Qq, Xx, Ww, Yy and Zz and their sounds. Students will begin blending sounds into words.

In Math, we will continue to explore shapes and be able to describe their attributes. We will use shapes to create patterns and pictures. Students will demonstrate an understanding of counting beyond 10 and simple addition and subtraction.

PreK friends are working together to find solutions to problems. They are giving play ideas and helping peers complete classroom tasks, such as creating and watering our garden! Thank you for your continued support.

For phonics, we will be learning two letters a week, and one or two sight words a week. We will continue to work on blending, segmenting, and fluently reading our decodables.

In math, we start our Unit 7. Our students will be exploring weight and capacity, addition and subtraction story problems, and get an understanding of place value. They will develop robust strategies of addition and subtraction problems and that numbers are composed of 10s and 1s.

In reading, we will be learning about exploring and looking at things closely. This module inspires our students to zoom into nature, the world of ants, and appreciate the beautiful things in everyday experiences. Our students will look closely, think differently, ask questions and make connections.

We will start our last science unit of Squirrels! 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 look forward to continuing our learning every day!

Can you believe that it is April already? Spring is here! We have been very busy learning in our classrooms, and we know that you are working hard with your children at home as well!

In Reading, we are beginning our 8th Module titled What Stories Teach Us. In this module, students will explore different kinds of literature, storytelling, and lessons to be learned.

In Math, we are concluding our 6th Unit. We will begin our 7th Unit titled One Hundred & Beyond. Over the course of this unit, students will continue to develop a deep understanding of numbers to 120 as they estimate, count, compare, add, and subtract two-digit quantities using familiar models. These models would be sticks, bundles, dimes, nickels, pennies, and the number line.

Reminders:

*Please remember to wear proper shoes (tennis shoes, sneakers, athletic shoes Etc.) for gym days!

As always, please contact us with any questions or concerns.

Our second graders are so excited to finally see the first signs of spring! As we say goodbye to this long winter, our students are moving forward in the classroom demonstrating the virtues of diligence, commitment, perseverance, and helpfulness. We spend time every morning during our community meetings focusing on our daily successes at school and what challenges we could work on together as a class community to improve. We are working hard to make the best of every day!

In Language Arts we are exploring Unit 7, “Everyone Has A Story.” We will be learning how people’s life experiences shape and create their life stories. We will read biographies about people who overcame obstacles to make their dreams come true. Our second graders will create timelines of their own lives that show special memories and accomplishments. Students will also write a story about an imaginary character’s adventures.

In Mathematics, we completed our unit, “Place Value to 1,000”. Students solidified their understanding of place value up to 1,000 using a variety of manipulatives. They created bundles of tens and hundreds and practiced adding and subtracting in multiples of 10 and 100. We even constructed a paper clip chain 1,000 paper clips long and hung it in our classroom! We are now working on Geometry and exploring polygons, solid figures, and the concept of area. We look forward to creating our own paper quilts using the concept of patterns and fractions to help us design them!

Please continue to reach out if you have any questions or concerns and thank you, as always, for your support!

Welcome April! We cannot believe how quickly this year is flying by! We are ready to begin the fourth marking period with determination and confidence!

In Math this month, we are finishing Unit 6 and moving on to Unit 7, which is titled “Extending Multiplication and Fractions.” In this unit, students are revisiting both multiplication and fraction concepts previously learned and extending their thinking about both topics. Students will be given the opportunity to develop and use strategies for multiplying by 11 and 12, multiply single-digit numbers by multiples of 10, multiply single-digit numbers by two-digit numbers, and solve problems involving fractions.

In English Language Arts, students have been working diligently on Module 8, titled “Imagine! Invent!”. In this module, we have been working to answer the essential question, “What does it take to make a successful invention?”. Students have been listening to, reading, and viewing a variety of texts and media that provide information about inventors and inventions. A genre focus on nonfiction provides students with opportunities to identify author’s purpose and central idea in order to better understand unfamiliar texts. Students will also encounter narrative poetry and opinion text to build knowledge across genres.

In Advanced Math, Ms. Kagel’s class is working on their 9th unit, Fractions and Decimals. In this unit, students will be working with a variety of tools to model, read, write, compare, order, compose, and decompose fractions and decimals.

In Health, students are beginning Unit 3, titled “Self-Management for a Healthier Me”. In this unit, students will be learning management skills relating to health and safety practices and habits. They will learn how to stay healthy by preventing the spread of germs, preventing injuries, and being safe online.

As we enter the spring season, the third-grade teachers would like to kindly ask for your support in keeping our classroom healthy and comfortable. Donations of tissues and hand sanitizer would be greatly appreciated! These items help ensure that we can maintain a clean environment for all our students!

We are looking forward to a successful fourth marking period! Thank you for your continued commitment to your child’s learning!

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 10 where we explore the question: What forms can communication test? We will work in small groups to reteach and enrich the content to meet the needs of all learners. Fourth grade Math will continue to work on Unit 7 and Advanced Math will continue with Unit 8. Keep practicing your math facts at home because knowing those facts makes us more efficient mathematicians. In Social Studies we will explore The Age of Exploration all the way up to the Jamestown settlement where we discuss motives, goals, and consequences of exploration.

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.

Happy Spring to our 5th grade families!

Your children worked so hard this past month! We have made it through MISA testing and all of our students took great effort and pride in their work! We are so proud of all of them!

In ELA, students will build their knowledge about the experience of moving to a new country, with a focus on the poetry genre. We will read texts and view videos about how people adapt to new experiences to make a home in a new place. Children will also write an opinion essay about whether or not they think it is easy to adapt to a new experience or place.

In Grade 5 Math, students are being introduced to Unit 7: Division and Decimals. Students will focus 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 will be 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 have begun unit 7: Rational Numbers. In this unit, students interpret signed numbers in contexts (e.g., temperature, elevation, deposit and withdrawal, position, direction, speed and velocity, percent change) together with their sums, differences, products, and quotients. (“Signed numbers” include all rational numbers, written as decimals or in the form a/b ) They understand and use the terms “positive number,” “negative number,” “rational number,” “opposite,” “sign,” “absolute value,” “less than,” “greater than,” and the corresponding symbols. They plot points with signed rational number coordinates on the number line, and recognize and use the connection between relative position of two points on the number line and inequalities involving the coordinates of the points. They understand and use absolute value notation, understanding that the absolute value of a number as its distance from zero on the number line.

We look forward to a productive remainder of the school year. Thank you for speaking with your child about behavior expectations while at school. We hope to see all students at our 5th Grade Carnival in May.

Our students continue to shine bright in 5th grade and we are so glad each and every one of them are with us this year!

Kindergarten and first graders have been making paper texture images.

Second grade students are learning about how people have been using their imagination for thousands of years, creating made up creatures.

Third graders are making paintings of important people in history.

Fourth graders are competing in groups to make a crab to be put on display at Reeter’s Crab House in Reisterstown!

Fifth graders are working on a ceramic social activist project that will definitely not take as long as those portraits! Speaking of which, congratulations to the following students who have their artwork on display at the Reisterstown Public Library this month! Marcus, Casin, Daniel, Elijah, Layia, Angie, Valeria, Kayden, Camilya, London, Amira, Mujtaba, Leah, Destyn, Joshua, Heidi, Zahara, Gia, Ayla, Alejandro, Aaliyah, Jorge, Austin, Adeife, Steven, Genesis, Toni, Lyla, and Quinton! WOW!!!

Students have learned instrument facts and instrument sounds of the four main string family instruments: the violin, viola, cello, and double bass. Students will continue to learn the parts of the violin in order to form proper rest position and playing position on the instrument. When students begin playing the violin, they will play pizzicato (plucking the strings) and will also learn proper bow grip in order to play arco on the violin (using the bow to create a sound).

5th grade Band/Orchestra

Students are continuing to work hard on their music for our upcoming Spring Concert. Orchestra students are continuing to practice their notes and rhythms for “Fiddlin’ Tune,” “Strings Rock!” Band students continue to review their notes and rhythms for their concert songs, “Warp Speed,” “Shark Attack,” and “Rondo for Band.” Students are encouraged to practice their concert songs daily and to complete their practice journals weekly.

Kindergarten students will be learning about community helpers to be able to identify their roles and responsibilities.

First graders will be starting a unit on Tangrams and learning how to use these seven shapes to create a picture.

Second grade students will be starting a unit on U.S. symbols to identify the significance of each symbol.

Third grade students will begin a unit on weather to learn about different types of weather and natural disasters.

Fourth grade students are starting a unit on Maryland and learning facts about their state and symbols that represent the state.

Fifth grade students will be learning about different types of careers to see which careers interest them.

You’ve heard about reading 15-20 minutes a day to build reading skills and fluency. Well, math should be discussed daily too. This doesn’t need to be a sit-down discussion about talking through how to solve a problem. Board games and card games are a great (and fun!) way to build number sense. Pointing out symmetry, identifying and describing shapes in the real world, counting everything, comparing items, looking for patterns, and sharing food/toys all provide opportunities to expand their thinking.

Check out talkingmathwithkids.com for some conversation starters or other ideas of ways to incorporate more math talk into your daily life.

If you want to read about others’ stories about talking math with their kids (and possibly contribute your own!) check out the hashtag #tmwyk on X (formerly Twitter).

April is National Pickleball month! Students in kindergarten, first, and second grade will be able to strike balloons and beach balls with their hands and other body parts. Students will also strike balloons and beach balls over a net to a partner. Students will use a paddle and strike a balloon and/or beach ball over a net to try to get a rally going.

Students in third, fourth and fifth grade will learn volleyball skills, pickleball skills, and floor hockey skills in our striking unit. The Washington Capitals donated hockey sticks, pucks, and balls, along with two targets to our PE program. I am excited to introduce floor hockey to our students at Glyndon this year.

Thank you to the Washington Capitals and the NHL for the amazing equipment we now have.

Please keep wearing sneakers each time you have PE. I appreciate the support with students’ safety. Thank you!

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!

April Classroom Lesson:

For the month of April, the theme is coping skills. Ms. Hypolite and I encourage you to discuss the content of the lesson with your child and help them reflect on the content. Please contact us if you have any questions!

Kindergarten is still involved in learning the difference between loud and soft and fast and slow. Students are listening, moving, using body percussion and playing instruments to solidify these concepts.

All grade levels are learning about dynamics.

1st grade is learning the difference between loud and soft, and learning the Italian terms (piano and forte) for these dynamic levels. They are singing, playing instruments, playing games, and using body percussion to solidify these concepts.

2nd through 5th grades are learning about (or reviewing) the dynamic levels, loud, moderately loud, moderately quiet, and quiet, and are learning the Italian terms for these dynamic levels (forte, mezzo forte, mezzo piano, and piano). They are singing, playing instruments, playing games, and using body percussion to solidify these concepts.

It is Springtime!! Be prepared for the allergy season. Here are some helpful hints to handle allergies throughout the spring season.

1. Please give allergy medication prior to coming to school in the morning. The Health Suite has Benadryl for allergy symptoms, but one side effect is drowsiness. There are over the counter allergy meds that are more effective on allergy symptoms. Please reach out to your Health Care Provider.
2. Cover your coughs and sneezes. Use tissues or an elbow to block the spray.
3. Do not rub your eyes with your fingers. Use a tissue to touch eyes.
4. Wash the pollen off hands, arms and face when coming inside.
5. Dress in layers due to cool mornings and warmer afternoon temperatures. Remember to bring a water bottle to school to stay hydrated during the warm spring days.

Please remember to send your child with footwear that is safe and appropriate for the playground. Save the flip flops and sandals for the beach. They can be very dangerous on playground conditions.

Also, I cannot give an over-the-counter medication from home without a written order by a doctor. Students may not bring medications into school and take them without a written order from a doctor. All medications without written orders will be confiscated and returned to parent.

Attendance Matters Every Day!

Many factors contribute to a child being able to attend school, every day on time.

Parents and guardians play a pivotal role in making sure that children stay healthy, warm, and have ways to get to school even on bad-weathered days. Try to make it a priority for your child to be on time to school–alert and ready to learn each day. It takes a joint effort to fight for regular attendance for all students–let’s work together towards consistent attendance this spring season!

Do your best to keep your child healthy. Encourage your child to wash their hands regularly. Handwashing is a huge preventative measure against illness. Also, eating a regular breakfast can give the body the energy it needs for the day. The healthier students remain, the less time they’ll have to miss from school due to illness!

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
