Valentine’s Day

On Wednesday, February 14th, the third grade classes will be having a little celebration. Students may bring in valentine cards for their classroom.

• Mrs. Guyot’s Class: 30 students
• Mrs. Kalis’s Class: 30 students
• Mrs. Warneck’s Class: 29 students

It is best to just have your child write his/her name on each card instead of including who the card is for. This makes for a speedier delivery in class.

We are also asking for donations of juice pouches and Krispy Kreme heart-shaped donuts. If you would be willing to donate either of these items, please click on the signup link: https://www.signupgenius.com/go/10C0D4EAAAC2EA4F94-valentines

*ALL CLASSES WILL EAT LUNCH AT SCHOOL*

During this field trip, we will be learning how to identify different types of trees, how to tap syrup from maple trees, and activities related to this experience. 

If you would like to chaperone for this field trip, please let your child’s teacher know. Chaperones will be hiking outside in the woods with students and will need to provide their own transportation to and from this field trip. All chaperones need to have an approved background check on file with Allen Park Public Schools. Background checks must be turned in by 2/12/24 so central office has time to process them.

Math Chapter 11: Understand Fraction Equivalence and Comparison 

In this chapter, your student is learning about fraction equivalence and comparison. The lessons address how to model and write equivalent fractions, as well as how to compare fractions using a variety of strategies. The vocabulary words for the chapter are: equivalent and equivalent fractions. Build your student’s understanding of fraction equivalence and comparison during your next baking session!

• Pull out your recipe book and head to the kitchen! Choose recipes that include different fractions so your student can compare them. Try changing some of the fractions to familiarize your student with a variety of fractions. For example, you can change 1 cup to 4/4 cup, or 2/3 teaspoon to 4/6 teaspoon to spice up the recipe!

• Invite your student to be your recipe reader. Ask, “What is an equivalent fraction for 1/2 cup?” Encourage your student to use a number line or models to find an equivalent fraction. Then, ask your student to find equivalent fractions for the whole numbers in the recipe. For example, 2 cups can also be 6/3 cups!

• Then, pick two items that share the same denominator (bottom number of a fraction). Point out the two items, such as sugar and flour, and ask, “Do I need more sugar or more flour in this recipe?” Encourage your student to use fraction strips or a number line to answer the question. Then, find two items that share the same numerator (top number of a fraction). Ask, “Do I need more [first item] or more [second item]?”. Encourage your student to use a number line to answer the question.

• Next, ask your student to look at the recipe and compare fractions with different numerators and denominators. Order three recipe items (with fractions) from least to greatest. Your student can use fraction strips or number lines to order the fractions.

By the end of this chapter, your student should feel confident with the learning targets and success criteria on the next page. Encourage your student to think of other contexts for comparing fractions, such as the distances between two places (e.g., 1/4 mile vs. 1/2 mile).

Have a great time at your next bake-off!

Elementary School Code of Conduct

Just a reminder regarding Arno’s Code of Conduct. We’ve experienced an uptick in dress code infractions. If you could please take a moment to read  over this information with your child, we would greatly appreciate it.

STUDENT DRESS CODE
The staff of the Elementary schools expect all students to be neatly and appropriately dressed and groomed at all times while in school and at all school functions. Clothing and general appearance of all students shall be in keeping with the intent of this policy. The spirit of the Allen Park dress and grooming regulations are best reflected in the following two excerpts from the Allen Park Board of Education policy:

“Students are expected to determine their patterns of dress and grooming, provided that such
dress and grooming do not interfere with the health and safety of themselves or others and does
not interfere with the educational process of the school.”

In order to assist students and parents to comply with this provision, the following guidelines have been developed. The school administrator and staff will uphold the following regulations:

1. Clothing should not be so torn or so loose fitting as to be inappropriate or immodest.

2. Students are not to wear items of clothing which have obscene or vulgar statements or
pictures, which promote alcohol, tobacco, or illegal substances. Shirts that convey a
negative attitude should not be worn to school. Also, students should not wear clothing
that promotes violence or fighting; such as “wrestling t-shirts”.

3. Shoes or footwear must be worn at all times. Sandals must be worn with socks. Flip-flops do
not make good shoes for children to wear to school, especially for gym and recess.

4. Hats are not to be worn in the building and must be kept in the student’s
cubby or locker during the school day.

5. Makeup and all other cosmetic products are prohibited. This includes fake fingernails and
“tattoos”.

6. No bare midriffs, “fishnet” shirts, bare backs, halter tops, spandex, spaghetti straps, low
cut or loose fitting tank shirts or transparent clothing are permitted at any time. However,
sleeveless tops that fit tightly around both the shoulder and the neck will be permitted. In
general, school clothing should be age appropriate and modest.

7. Shorts, skirts, and dresses must be at least fingertip length when one’s arms are extended
straight at one’s sides.

8. Coats and jackets, and other outerwear should not be worn in class.

Exceptions to the above for “special” days may be declared by the administration.

These guidelines are offered as general statements so that students and parents can select and purchase clothing appropriate to the school environment. As in most other things, good judgment
and common sense are the ultimate standards.

Students who arrive at school inappropriately dressed will be referred to the principal and asked to remedy the problem. This may involve being sent home to change a particular article of clothing.

Math Chapter 10: Understand Fractions

In this chapter, your student is learning how to understand fractions. The lessons address how to identify equal parts of a whole and name them, how to write a fraction, and how to plot fractions less than 1 and greater than 1 on a number line. The vocabulary words for this chapter are: whole, whole numbers, sixths, eighths, fraction, unit fraction, numerator, and denominator.

Build your student’s understanding of fractions at your next family dinner!

• What dinners do you and your family make in fraction-ready shapes? Two examples are lasagnas in rectangular pans and circular pizzas! The next time you sit down for dinner with a fraction-ready dish, invite your student to help you divide the dish into equal parts. Begin by cutting the dish in half. Ask, “Does this shape show equal parts or unequal parts?” Then ask your student to name the equal parts. Next, divide the dish again so your dish is in fourths. Ask your student to name the equal parts.

• Divide a fraction-ready dish into sixths or eighths. Then, remove a sixth or an eighth of the dish. Ask your student, “What fraction of the dish have we removed?” Have your student write down the fraction. Next, remove more parts of the dish, asking your student each time to write down fractions to represent the fraction of the whole that has been removed.

• Sketch an empty number line. Ask your student to plot their “dinner fractions” on the number line. Remind them that every number on a number line represents a distance from 0, and the distance from 0 to 1 is one whole.

• Once your student is comfortable plotting fractions less than 1 on a number line, challenge them to plot fractions greater than 1 on a number line. If you made more than one fraction-ready dish for dinner, you can use those dishes for this fraction practice! For example: Cut two  lasagnas in rectangular pans into sixths. Remove 2 equal parts of the lasagna from one pan. Ask your student what fraction of a lasagna is still in the pans. Then, ask your student to plot that fraction on a number line.

By the end of this chapter, your student should feel confident with the learning targets and success criteria on the next page. Encourage your student to think of other contexts for using fractions, such as measurements in a recipe.

Have a great time at your next family dinner!

A Message from the Tech Department…

Automatic updates are pushed out to student chromebooks in the evening. In order for a chromebook to process the automatic update, the chromebook must be shut down and not just simply closed shut. Please have your child sign out and shut down their chromebook completely at night. Having to manually update the chromebook is a timely inconvenience during a student’s school day.

Thank you!

December Super Cougars

Congratulations to our December Super Cougars, Zoe, Ava, and Joaquin. They have gone above and beyond to be responsible, respectful, and safe. They enjoyed their Super Cougar lunch with Mr. Zielinski last week.

Illness & Absences

We are at that time of the year when the weather changes and illnesses are a result. Please remember that your child must be responsible to retrieve any work they missed and turn it in within the time allotted (2 days for every one day absent). Absent work, as well as any materials needed to complete the work, are available on Google Classroom. If a family emergency occurs, we encourage you to reach out to your child’s teacher for additional time.

So many students have been absent recently. Please be sure to check Parent Connect for any missing scores. Many missing scores are simply because a student is absent the day an assignment is due. If a child needs extra copies, they are more than welcome to check at school. Fourth graders need to be responsible for their own absent work. I will not be hounding students for missing assignments. This helps to grow responsible, successful humans.

Please see the document below for ways to stay healthy so that absent work is not an issue. Please continue to alert us of any planned absences, so that I can make sure your child is prepared with any work they may miss.
