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:

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:
