On Friday, December 16, 2016; we had our first award assembly.  During the assembly, we celebrated academic excellence on the NWEA reading and math portions of the test. We also celebrated students of the month and bucket fillers. Congratulations to all student who received (an) award(s). Mr. Awada gave out certificates and gifts for students who earned awards. Check out the class picture page to see pictures from our assembly.

This week will be a busy one, full of fun and excitement along with finishing up all our academic units.  We begin spirit week on Monday.  Students can wear a hat all day. Tuesday is jersey day.  Wear your favorite team.  Wednesday is crazy hair day.  Thursday is mismatch day, and Friday is pajama day.  Don’t forget this Wednesday is also late start.  School will begin at 9:30.

Here is our weekly objectives:

Reading: RI.4.7 Interpret information presented visually, orally, or quantitatively (e.g., in charts, graphs, diagrams, time lines, animations, or interactive elements on Web pages) and explain how the information contributes to an understanding of the text in which it appears.

Math: 4.MD.1 Know relative sizes of measurement units within one system of units including km, m, cm; kg, g; lb, oz.; l, ml; hr, min, sec. Within a single system of measurement, express measurements in a larger unit in terms of a smaller unit. Record measurement equivalents in a two- column table. For example, know that 1 ft is 12 times as long as 1 in. Express the length of a 4 ft snake as 48 in. Generate a conversion table for feet and inches listing the number pairs (1, 12), (2, 24), (3, 36)-  

We will be taking unit 4 math test on Thursday, December 22, 2016.

Science:

• Physical Properties- All objects and substances have physical properties that can be measured.
• Measure the weight (spring scale) and mass (balances in grams or kilograms) of objects.
•  Measure volumes of liquids in milliliters and liters.

Social Studies:

Purposes of Government
Explain why people create governments.

• Identify questions political scientists ask in examining the United States (e.g., What does government do? What are the basic values and principles of American democracy? What is the relationship of the United States to other nations? What are the roles of the citizen in American democracy?).
• Explain probable consequences of an absence of government and of rules and laws.
• Describe the purposes of government as identified in the Preamble of the Constitution.

I hope you enjoyed your extra day off. Here is the objectives for this week:

Reading : RI.4.6 Compare and contrast a firsthand and secondhand account of the same event or topic; describe the differences in focus and the information provided.

RI.4.4 Determine the meaning of general academic and domain-specific words or phrases in a text relevant to a grade 4 topic or subject area.

Math:  4.NBT.1 Recognize that in a multi-digit whole number, a digit in one place represents ten times what it represents in the place to its right. For example, recognize that 700 ÷ 70 = 10 by applying concepts of place value and division.  4.NF.6 Use decimal notation for fractions with denominators 10 or 100. For example, rewrite 0.62 as 62/100; describe a length as 0.62 meters; locate 0.62 on a number line diagram. 4.NF.7 Compare two decimals to hundredths by reasoning about their size. Recognize that comparisons are valid only when the two decimals refer to the same whole. Record the results of comparisons with the symbols >, =, or <, and justify the conclusions, e.g., by using a visual model.

Science:Properties of Matter

K-7 Standard P.PM: Develop an understanding that all matter has observable attributes with physical and chemical properties that are described, measured, and compared. Understand that states of matter exist as solid, liquid, or gas; and have physical and chemical properties. Understand all matter is composed of combinations of elements, which are organized by common attributes and characteristics on the Periodic Table. Understand that substances can be classified as mixtures or compounds and according to their physical and chemical properties.

P.PM.E.1 Physical Properties- All objects and substances have physical properties that can be measured.

Social Studies: C1.0.1 Identify questions political scientists ask in examining the United States (e.g., What does government do? What are the basic values and principles of American democracy? What is the relationship of the United States to other nations? What are the roles of the citizen in American democracy?).C1.0.2:Explain probable consequences of an absence of government and of rules and laws.  Describe the purposes of government as identified in the Preamble of the Constitution.
