Weekly Newsletter Grade 5
Dates: August 21-25, 2017
Curriculum Information for the Week:
Literacy: In reader’s workshop, we will be learning about ways to record our thinking when reading texts so that we can provide evidence for our ideas. We will practice having group discussions that are focused and keep the conversation going. Students will also begin taking the ideas they gather to write effectively about a text.
Math: We will be continuing our work with powers of ten and move into multiplication, becoming more effective and accurate with multi digit problems. We will also start reviewing long division and move towards solving problems with double digit divisors.
Unit of Study: Grade 5 will continue with the ideas of leadership that were presented during Red Hat training and explore the role of citizens in making positive impacts on their community. Additionally, we start to learn about the different forms of government.
