Weekly Newsletter Grade 5
Dates: October 22-26, 2018
Curriculum Information for the Week:
Literacy:
Just prior to and following our annual trip to Melaka this week, the students will continue working in their book club groups using discussions to help them stretch their thinking about the book and identify themes or life lessons using evidence from the text. In writing, they will complete their literary essays, which also discuss themes.
Math:
Adding and Subtracting Fractions continues this week as we move into operations with mixed numbers and unlike denominators. Students will continue to develop their conceptual understanding by drawing and labeling rectangular fraction models to show their thinking.
Unit of Study:
The students will continue our learning on Types of Government, and conclude our preparation for the Melaka trip by looking into the rich history of Melaka.
