Dates: August 27-31, 2018
Dear Parents,
Curriculum Information for the Week:
Literacy: We will soon begin book clubs! During this unit students will be reading novels, short stories and sophisticated picture books. Students will participate in whole class discussions as well as book clubs. Discussions will focus on connections, predictions, characters, and most importantly THEMES (life lessons).
Math:
We will be continuing our work with place value. Classes will apply their knowledge of the place value system to multiplication. We will begin with the area model, solidifying the conceptual learning and understanding prior to moving on to the traditional algorithm.
Unit of Study:
Grade 5 will continue to learn being role models and leadership. Being part of a community is a big responsibility. Classroom discussions will identify roles of leaders as well as the roles and responsibilities of citizens. This will lead us into global citizenship and the importance of making positive change.
