Weekly Newsletter Grade 5
Dates: November 5-9, 2018
We start this week on day 7 on Mon Nov 5th, there is NO SCHOOL for Deepavali on Tues Nov 6th, classes resume Wed Nov 7th on Day 8.
Curriculum Information for the Week:
Literacy: Students will be starting their Nonfiction reading and writing unit. We will focus on text structures and how these structures help support the main ideas. Students will read from a variety of informational text, including picture books and articles. This unit will be integrated with our science unit, so students will be using texts about sustainable energy to improve their nonfiction reading.
Math: Students will finish up Unit 2-Adding and Subtracting fractions. This week classes will focus on word problems including mixed numbers, addition and subtraction. As we venture into our next unit, coordinate planes, we will continue to review our learning from Unit 1 and Unit 2 in the daily warm ups.
Unit of Study: We will get started with our Sustainable Energy unit. Classes started with tuning in activities, which sparked curiosity. This week classes will have their first science lab exploration, focusing on circuits.
