Weekly Newsletter Grade 5
Dates: Sept. 4-8, 2017
Curriculum Information for the Week:
Literacy: The students have finished their first Book Club novels. They will begin new books shortly and continue their discussions about connections, predictions, characters, and most importantly THEMES (life lessons) using their ‘thinkmarks’. They will also continue writing journal reflections on their books. This week, the students will also complete our first writing unit pre-assessment, using the picture book, ‘Fly Away Home’.
Math: The students will continue their work on long division and move towards solving problems with double digit divisors. They will review multiplication and division of multidigit numbers using standard algorithms later this week to prepare for completing the end-of-unit summative assessment.
Unit of Study: The students will continue to learn about the different forms of government, and as our Melaka Trip is just over a week away, they will continue to learn LOTS about Melaka and the important role the port played throughout history. The students will view a trip slideshow of student expectations and a trip overview, including a packing list and itinerary.
