Weekly Newsletter Grade 5
Dates: April 2-6
Dear Parents,
Curriculum Information for this Week:
Literacy: Students continue to learn about Social Issues and Human Rights through various texts, including read aloud, book club and short readings. We will focus on informational texts throughout this unit. As we move into writing, students will revisit informational and opinion writing.
Math: The students will continue the unit titled Order of Operations. 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. The assessment will be at the end of the week.
Unit of Study: We will continue our Social Change unit by tuning in to the ‘Night of the Notables’ 2017 presentation in preparation for beginning to write our individual class scripts. Our presentation to parents will be on the evening of Tues. 8 May, so teachers and students are starting the process of preparing for this important grade level highlight.
For more information and ways to support your child please visit the Parent Learning Connection page.
Important Reminders/Information: (also see GLC Updates)
Evening of Tuesday, May 8th will be Night of the Notables. Please mark your calendars. More information will be sent soon.
Highlight in the week prior to spring break:
The Terry Fox Cancer Awareness Run on Fri. 23 Mar. was a real highlight.
