ELA Module 1: A Great Heart
ELA Module 1: A Great Heart
The heart: a literal muscle that sustains human life and a figurative center of emotion, love, and desire. In Grade 4 Module 1, A Great Heart, students explore, challenge, and explain these various meanings of the word heart. The literal and figurative uses of heart are presented through quotations from individuals as diverse as Confucius, Bill Nye (“The Science Guy”), and Helen Keller. To build deeper understanding of the people behind these quotations about heart, students study biographies of Clara Barton, Helen Keller, and Anne Frank. These biographies help students see how the thoughts and actions of people demonstrate great compassion and courage, thus exemplifying a figurative great heart.

Students will not be allowed to check out after 2:30PM (1:30PM on Wednesdays).
Early check-outs can quickly become an attendance issue for students/families, as tardies and early check-outs accumulate to absences.
Early check-outs limit the amount of instructional minutes for students who are checking out.
Early check-outs disturb and/or interrupt instruction for other students.
Please make every effort not to check your student out unless it is a planned doctor’s appointment or an emergency. Documentation will be needed to excuse the check-out.
