Weekly Objectives for March 20th- March 24th

Parent teacher conferences will be held next week.  I will only be meeting with those parents that I need to see.  I will send a note to the parents that I need to meet with. Please continue to have your child go on MyOn everyday to listen to reading and take comprehension quizzes.

This is our last week before the end of the card marking.  We will be wrapping up many units, so please discuss the importance of working hard and getting all assignments turned in on time with your child.  Here is the objectives for this week:

Reading:

RL 4.4 Determine the meaning of words and phrases as they are used in the adventure.
RL 4.7 Make connections between the text of an adventure and a visual or oral presentation of the text, identifying where each version reflects specific descriptions and directions in the text.
RL 4.9 Compare and contrast the treatment of similar themes and topics (e.g. opposition of good and evil) and patterns of events (e.g. the quest) in adventures.

Math:

4.NF.3.a Understand addition and subtraction of fractions as joining and separating parts referring to the same whole.
Ability to represent the addition and subtraction of fractions using concrete materials, pictures, numbers, and words. S
Ability to use concrete and/or pictorial tools to add and subtract fractions with like denominators. S
Knowledge that the numerator tells how many parts of the whole we are counting and the denominator tells how many total parts there are in all. K
Knowledge that when counting parts of a whole, the numerator consecutively changes, the denominator stays the same. (Ex. 1/4, 2/4, 3/4, 4/4 or 1)

Science Review: Test on Thursday.

ESS2.A: Earth materials and systems How do the major Earth systems interact? [Rainfall, water, ice, wind, living organisms, and gravity break rocks, soils, and sediments into smaller particles and move them around.]

ESS2.B Why do the continents move, and what causes earthquakes and volcanoes? The locations of mountain ranges, deep ocean trenches, ocean floor structures, earthquakes, and volcanoes occur in patterns. Earthquakes happen near or deep below Earth’s surface, volcanoes are found on the continents and ocean floor, major mountain chains form inside continents or near edges. Maps can help locate the different land and water features where people live and in other areas of Earth.

ESS2:C  How do the properties and movements of water shape Earth’s surface and affect its systems? [The downhill movement of water shapes the appearance of the land.]

Social Studies:

 Identify situations in which specific rights guaranteed by the Constitution and Bill of Rights involved.

Describe the relationship between rights and responsibility of citizenship, Explain why rights have limits.

 

 

A message from the School Nurse

Dear Parents,
The Dearborn Public Schools would like to take this opportunity to remind you about the importance of immunizing your child. Immunizations are one of the most effective measures to protect children from harmful diseases and even death. All children who attend school in Michigan are required by state law to be fully immunized.

Vaccination is one of the best ways parents can protect infants, children, and teens from 16 potentially harmful viral and bacterial diseases including the following: Diphtheria, Tetanus, Pertussis, Bacterial Meningitis, Polio, Measles, Mumps, Rubella, Hepatitis B, and Chickenpox.

Vaccine-preventable diseases can be very serious, may require hospitalization, or even be deadly–especially in infants and young children.

Although we have not had any cases of students with Chickenpox in Dearborn Public Schools, the Wayne County Health Department has informed us of several new cases being reported throughout Wayne County. There is no reason to be overly alarmed, but we felt it was important to share this information with our parents.

If you would like more information on immunizing your child and counsel in regards to the health benefits and risks of immunizations, please contact your primary care physician, one of the urgent care facilities in our city, the Wayne County Health Department, or visit Michigan Department of Health and Human Services website.

Regards,

The Dearborn School Nurses
