Weekly Newsletter Grade 5
Dates: September 3-7, 2018
Dear Parents,
Curriculum Information for the Week:
Literacy: In reader’s workshop, we will be learning about ways to record our thinking when reading texts so that we can provide evidence for our ideas. We will practice having group discussions that are focused and keep the conversation going. Students will also begin taking the ideas they gather to write effectively about a text.
Math:
We will be continuing our work with powers of ten and move into multiplication, becoming more effective and accurate with multi-digit problems. We will also start reviewing long division and move towards solving problems with double digit divisors.
Unit of Study:
Grade 5 will continue with the ideas of leadership that were presented during Red Hat training and start to look at the different forms of government. We will look at how the structures of leadership change and the how that may affect the citizens in the community.
For more information and ways to support your child please visit the Parent Learning Connection page.

Thank you for attending Open House Parent Night. It was a wonderful opportunity to share information about Grade 5!
Free Dress Day was a roaring success as donations totalled over RM2,050. The newly crowned Red Hats did a wonderful job collecting money in the morning and 5JV were the lucky money counters. Our next Red Hat’s free dress day is September 21.
