Our 4th-grade team is getting ready for Fall Festival, and we are excited to decorate our hallway! We are looking to borrow a few items to help bring our theme to life, including fog machines, LED gloves, costumes, spotlights, and rope LED lights. If you have any of these items or other fun decorations we could use, we would greatly appreciate it! We promise to return all borrowed items after the festival.

We would also LOVE any extra hands to help us decorate our hallway this Thursday or Friday during the day! If you have some time and are willing to help, we would be so grateful.

Thank you for always supporting our 4th graders and helping make these school events so fun and memorable!

Essential Question:

How can government influence the way we live?

Build Knowledge Goals

In this unit, students will read informational texts and fictional stories about the interactions between citizens and government. They will build schema around the following concepts. They will synthesize information to build the following Enduring Understandings:

• Local, state, and federal governments have and share different powers and responsibilities.
• All levels of government provide services that promote the wellbeing of society, such as education, transportation, and the protection of people’s health and safety.
• Elected representatives, government officials, and volunteers work together at all levels of government to solve problems in times of crisis.
• We can learn about power and the role of government not just through nonfiction but also through fiction and fictional scenarios.

Students will be able to do the following:

• Use drawings and symbols to represent a word problem involving multiplicative comparison.
• Use equations to solve for the unknown in multiplicative comparison problems.
• Solve word problems involving multiplicative comparisons by using multiplication or division.
• Distinguish between multiplicative comparison and additive comparison.
