The Standards for Mathematical Practice
1. Make sense of the problems and persevere in solving them.
2. Reason abstractly and quantitatively
3. Construct viable arguments and critique the reasoning of others.
4. Model with mathematics.
5. Use appropriate tools strategically.
6. Attend to precision.
7. Look for and make use of structures.
8. Look for and express regularity in repeated reasoning.
Rigor of Mathematics• Is achieved through
high-quality tasks that balance conceptual understanding, procedural understanding, and application of mathematics.
Science
Quarter 1: Weather and Climate
Quarter 2: Forces and Interactions
Quarter 3:Plant and Animal Survival
Quarter 4: Life Cycles and Traits
Understanding the Next Generation Science Standards
(NGSS)
Key Shifts
• K-12 science education should focus on BOTH content and skill, so that students know how to apply their factual knowledge.
• Science and engineering are integrated in the NGSS from Kindergarten through Twelve Grade.
• The NGSS were specifically designed to prepare students for college, careers, and citizenship.
NGSS Lead States. 2013. Next Generation Science Standards: For States, By States. Appendix A: Conceptual Shifts in the Next Generation Science Standards. Washington, DC: The National Academies Pres
Social Studies
Quarter 1: Our Community and Beyond
Quarter 2: Communities Near and Far
Quarter 3: The Citizen Counts
Quarter 4: The Citizen and the Community
Language Arts
• Language Arts standards are on-going throughout the year.
• Students will demonstrate comprehension through Reader Response and providing evidence from the text.
• Independent Daily Reading (IDR)
Cont.
Language Arts Cont.• Throughout the year students will read, listen, and
respond to :– Literature– Informational Text
Students will speak and write:– To express personal ideas – To give an opinion – To inform or explain
WORD STUDY A Powerful New Approach
Suffixes
Greek & Latin Roots
PrefixesPhonics
Spelling
Vocabulary
Why UseThis New Approach?
• Systematic approach to word awareness and vocabulary building
• 90% of English words of two or more syllables are of Greek or Latin origin
• Most academic vocabulary is derived from Latin and Greek origins
WORD STUDY IN SCHOOL
• Meet the Root: students define and conquer a list of words as they identify the word parts and roots
• Combine and Create: students combine words built from the root and pattern
• Read and Reason: students read text in which they encounter the word part/root
• Extend and Explore: students create new applications for the vocabulary
WORD STUDY AT HOME• Word Sorts: students sort for the pattern
• Word Hunts: students search for the pattern in a variety of text
• Word Associations: write additional words that connect to the target word or pattern
• Vocabulary: students find new and interesting words to put in their notebooks
• Quick Writes: apply new skills to writing
Homework
• Agenda Books
• Reading
• Daily Word Study
• Daily Math
School RulesStudents will ROCK:

Field Trips
•Baltimore Museum of Industry – October
•Breadmake – March
•Camden Yards - May
Field Trip Chaperone Selection Process
• If a parent/guardian would like to be considered as a chaperone, they must check the chaperone box on their child’s permission form, provide contact information, and return the form to their child’s teacher.
• Permission forms may be turned in before payment.
• Chaperones will be selected per homeroom class based on the order in which forms are received.
Field Trip Chaperone Selection Process
- Continued - • After the first field trip, chaperone requests from parents/guardians who have not attended a previous field trip this school year will take first priority.
• Parents/guardians that are not selected to chaperone will be placed on a waiting list and used if needed.
• Parents/guardians who submit a request will be notified via phone or email if they were selected or not selected to chaperone on a field trip.
Testing• MAP – fall, winter,
spring• CogAT – December
• PARCC – Spring
