Dates: September 18-21, 2018
Dear Parents,
Curriculum Information for the Week:
Literacy:
The students will continue to read and discuss their book club novels or short stories. They are using ‘think marks’ to promote rich discussion about their books. They will continue to discuss connections, predictions, characters, setting and most importantly THEMES (life lessons). During writing, the students will continue to work on making a claim (opinion) about a theme(s) of a short story and provide evidence from the story to support their claim. This practice will prepare the students for writing literary essays later in the unit.
Math:
The students will continue to work on using their basic division facts, extended division facts and dividing larger numbers by multiples of 10, 100, 1000 etc. to prepare them for using the partial quotients long division algorithm and solving division problems with double digit divisors.
Unit of Study:
The students will be introduced to various forms of government: monarchy, democracy dictatorship etc. and discuss the advantages and disadvantages of these government systems. They will also work on types of government on their Home Learning Choice Board.
