Weekly Newsletter Grade 5
Dates: September 18-21, 2017
Curriculum Information for the Week:
Literacy: Students are continuing with book club groups using discussions to help them stretch their thinking about the book and develop themes. We are encouraging students to think about what they are learning about real life from their books. These ideas that are generated from their book club books will be used in their literary essays, which we will continue to learn about next week.
Math: Adding and Subtracting Fractions continues this week as we move into operations with unlike denominators. Students will develop conceptual understanding using manipulatives and models to show their thinking.
Unit of Study: We will continue our reflections on Melaka as we continue our exploration of leadership and citizenship. In preparation for our Social ChangeMakers Conference next week, students will look into the role of citizens in a community and how they can impact society.
