Unit Goals

Students build from place value understanding in grade 4 to recognize that in a multi-digit number, a digit in one place represents 10 times as much as it represents in the place to its right and of what it represents in the place to its left. They use this place value understanding to round, compare, order, add, subtract, multiply, and divide decimals.

How would the bond proposal affect your taxes? With a 1.95 mill net increase over the current millage rate, the approval of the May 7 bond proposal would result in a new millage rate of 5.65. This rate is lower than many surrounding districts and for the average taxpayer, this equates to an annual increase of $220.82. Calculate your tax impact at sjpsfuture.org. Please join us on Monday, March 18th at 6pm to learn more about this important investment!

This week our school community will be focusing on the character strength of Social Intelligence.

Social intelligence means that you are aware of other people’s thoughts and feelings. You understand why they do things. It refers to a person’s ability to understand and manage interpersonal relationships — and is distinct from a person’s IQ or “book smarts.” It includes an individual’s ability to understand, and act on, the feelings, thoughts, and behaviors of other people. This type of intelligence can take place “in the moment” of face-to-face conversations but also appears during times of deliberate thinking. It involves emotional intelligence and self-awareness.

Examples of social intelligence include knowing when to talk or listen, what to say, and what to do. Timing is a big part of social intelligence. For example, someone who is imperceptive may tell a funny joke – but at the wrong time, or not show enough interest when meeting someone new.
