Math Module 4-
We started a new module in math this week. Attached are newsletters that explain all the concepts that will be covered in Module 4.
Focus for the Week of December 10th
Reading: Students will learn to acknowledge differences in the points of view of characters, including by speaking in a different voice for each character when reading dialogue aloud.
Math: Students will use addition and subtraction within 100 to solve one- and two-step word problems involving situations of adding to, taking from, putting together, taking apart, and comparing, with unknowns in all positions, e.g., by using drawings and equations with a symbol for the unknown number to represent the problem. They will fluently add and subtract within 100 using strategies based on place value, properties of operations, and/or the relationship between addition and subtraction.
Students will mentally add 10 or 100 to a given number 100-900, and mentally subtract 10 or 100 from a given number 100-900. Students will be able to explain why addition and subtraction strategies work, using place value and the properties of operations.
Writing: Students will write informative/explanatory texts in which they introduce a topic, use facts and definitions to develop points, and provide a concluding statement or section.
Science: Students will continue to learn about the structures of matter and the surfaces of the earth as it relates to solid matter.
Social Studies: Students will suggest ways people can responsibly interact with the environment in the local community.They will describe positive and negative consequences of changing the physical environment of the local community. Students will describe how the local community is part of a larger region(e.g., county, metropolitan area, state).

Scholastic Book Fair

Read By Third Grade
Based on Public Law 306 (October 2016), third grade students who are more than a year below grade level on the state ELA assessment are under consideration for retention in third grade. Dearborn Public Schools staff in elementary schools have been systematically planning to ensure that teachers have the training to teach reading effectively and that students receive small group instruction based on their needs. The current year second graders are the first group to potentially be impacted by the legislation.
You are invited to join the district task force to strengthen the planning process and to ensure that the community is informed and engaged in the success of every student.
If you would like to participate, please complete the survey.
