Weekly Newsletter Grade 5
Dates: August 14-18, 2017
Curriculum Information for the Week:
Literacy: Readers Workshop will focus on how students grow as readers. In order to grow, readers choose strategies such as reading ‘just right’ books, building stamina, monitoring their reading and taking the time to reflect and goal set. One strategy is using thinkmarks to keep track of their thinking while reading. This week students are expected to keep track of their reading as well as their THINKING!
Math: Place value and powers of ten will be the focus this week. Students will notice patterns and use their knowledge of basic multiplication facts, arrays, the area model and algorithms.
Unit of Study: Grade 5 classes will continue to participate in the Red Hat’s leadership and team building activities focusing on the importance of collaboration, and what it means to be a leader. The week will culminate with students receiving their Red Hats and taking on the role of leaders of the Melawati Campus.
