Newsletter March 19

Weekly Newsletter Grade 5
Dates: March 19-23       


Dear Parents,

Curriculum Information for this Week:

Literacy: Students continue to learn about Social Issues and Human Rights through historical fiction, biography and autobiography texts. We will focus on Informational text throughout this unit.  Students will revisit informational and opinion writing in this unit.

Math: The students will begin the unit titled Order of Operations. We have been practicing this skill using daily warm ups, so they are familiar with these skills. Students will evaluate how to use numerical expressions with parentheses, brackets and braces.  They will explain how to use these symbols in order to identify, write and describe simple numerical expressions.

Unit of Study: We have started our Social Change unit by tuning in to the Universal Declaration of Human Rights as well as looking at the UN Sustainable Development Goals.

For more information and ways to support your child please visit the Parent Learning Connection page.
