Weekly Newsletter Grade 5
Dates:May 7th-11th
Dear Parents,
Curriculum Information for this Week:
Literacy & Unit of Study: This week students will reflect on their Global Goal that we researched and think about how they as students can make a difference and impact others. Students will reflect on their performance in the Night of the Notables and understand that as students they too can be activists. This week students will use their research to start compiling an opinion or informational essay on their chosen social issue and notable person/people, which will form an integral part of their ‘Blackboard Project’.
Math: Students will continue our Volume and Measurement Unit. They will measure necessary attributes of shapes in order to determine volumes to solve real world and mathematical problems. Students will also convert like measurement units within the metric system and solve word problems relating to those conversions. They will also use formula such as V = L X W X H and V = B X H to solve problems.
Night of the Notables (NotN): In addition to the above, students will continue our Social Change unit by presenting to 4th grade in our dress rehearsal and then finally to the parents on Tuesday evening. The NotN presentation will be on the evening of Tuesday 8 May. The show starts at 6:30pm but please note that the students will need to be back at school by 6:00pm so they have time to change into their black & white presentation clothes and assemble in the G5 common area.
For more information and ways to support your child please visit the Parent Learning Connection page.
