Weekly Newsletter Grade 5
Dates: August 28-30, 2017
Curriculum Information for the Week:
Literacy: We have all begun our new novels. The students are now reading novels in groups and having wonderful discussions about their books. They are talking about connections, predictions, characters, and most importantly THEMES (life lessons). More to come on themes soon...
Math: We will be continuing our work with 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 to learn about the different forms of government, and as Melaka is just a few weeks away we will begin to learn LOTS about Melaka and the important role it played throughout history being, at one time, the largest trade port in the world.
