TRASH HEROES
On Saturday 1 Dec. Trash Heroes will have a big clean up right outside our campus! Trash Heroes is a local organization that picks up trash in areas around the community and educates others about the environment. Grade 5 had a chance to hear them speak at our Social Change Makers’ Conference and this would be a great way for students to take some action! If you and your child are interested, please come to the ISKL Ampang Hilir entrance at 8:30am on Sat. Dec. 1st. Please also let me know so I can contact Amy Popovich and make sure there are enough gloves from Trash Heroes. If you aren't sure yet if you will make it or not, just show up on the day!
G5 CHRISTMAS TREE ORNAMENTS
Each school year in late Nov. our G5 Room Parents help our students create their own Christmas tree ornaments, which are then placed on the grade level Christmas tree in the ES Foyer. In recent years, the Room Parents have tried to make this fun activity more sustainable by having the students make ornaments from recycled materials. If you have any magazines and/or other suitable materials to recycle, please have your child bring them to school before Fri. 30 Nov. On that date, our G5 Room Parents will set up an ‘assembly line’ in the G5 common area from 1:30-2:30pm, so the students can create their ornaments.
STUDENTS LEAVING ISKL AT THE END OF FIRST SEMESTER
If you know that you are leaving KL and moving elsewhere at the end of this semester, please let me know and also contact Uma Esvaran in the Admissions/Student Services Office. (Her Panther Apps email address is uesvaran@iskl.edu.my) The ES Administration is trying to get a handle on who will be leaving in December to help plan for second semester. Thanks for your attention to this. As you know, the first semester ends on Friday 21 Dec. If you are planning to leave early on your end of semester break, please also let me know, so I know how many students will be at school for planning purposes.
CLASS WORK LAST WEEK
Language Arts: Reading, writing, speaking & listening:
Last week, the students continued our second reading unit titled: ‘Tackling Complexity: Summarizing & Synthesizing Nonfiction’, which focuses on text structures and how these structures help support the main ideas in nonfiction books. In their book club groups, students have been reading and discussing a variety of informational texts. This unit is integrated with our second writing unit titled, ‘Informational Writing’ and our first science unit, titled ‘Sustainable Energy’, so students are also using texts on this topic to improve their nonfiction reading and writing. This week the students will focus on choosing and researching one form of sustainable energy, the pros and cons etc. They will begin to synthesize their research in an information essay. Later, they will use their essays to create a script for a PSA (Public Service Announcement) or a podcast, which will feature their chosen form of sustainable energy. The students also continued their year-long ‘Free Choice Writing Project’ where they continued the process of writing and publishing their own realistic or fantasy story on their laptops using a Google doc. I also continued reading our current read aloud titled, ‘Refugee’ by Alan Gratz. The students also continued daily typing practice from 7:50 - 8:10am using the www.typing.com program.
Math:
Last week, the students continued Unit 3: The Coordinate Plane. Lessons completed were:
Lesson 3: Naming and Plotting Points on the Coordinate Plane
Lesson 4: Patterns on the Coordinate Plane
Lesson 5: What’s the Rule? (Using ordered pairs to interpret rules involving the x and y axes)
Science:
Last week, the students continued our science unit titled, ‘Sustainable Energy’. They continued watching various Brainpop energy videos and taking notes using the two-column method. They also had to complete the video review quiz and also write a topic sentence on the content of the video. Our Info. Lit. teacher - Steve Katz - took the students for a lesson last Thurs. titled, ‘Effective Google Online Searches’. This lesson will help the students to conduct their research into a chosen source of sustainable energy - mentioned above in the language arts section.

Science:
Last week, the students continued our first science unit titled, ‘Sustainable Energy’. The students also began working in partnerships in science lab. 3 on our ‘Electrical Circuits Explorations 1’, where they had to experiment with connecting various wires, a battery and a light bulb to make a circuit. They also returned to science lab. 3 for their second lesson where they had to add a ‘switch’ made from a small square of cardboard, 2 metal fasteners and a paperclip. This coming week, the students will return for their third lesson where they have to solve various electrical circuits puzzles. They are recording their learning in an ‘Electrical Circuits’ booklet. The students also began watching various Brainpop energy videos and taking notes using the two-column method. They also have to complete the video review quiz and also write a topic sentence on the content of the video.

CLASS WORK LAST WEEK
Language Arts: Reading, writing, speaking & listening:
Last week, the students completed their realistic fiction book clubs and began our second reading unit titled: ‘Tackling Complexity: Summarizing & Synthesizing Nonfiction’. We will focus on text structures and how these structures help support the main ideas. Students will read from a variety of informational texts, including picture books and articles. This unit will be integrated with our science unit titled Sustainable Energy, so students will also be using texts on this topic to improve their nonfiction reading. During Writing Workshop lessons, the students began unit 2 titled, ‘Informational Writing’. They completed a pre-assessment task with the following prompt:
Think of a topic that you know or have studied about. You will write an informational text that teaches others interesting and important information and ideas about that topic. You have 60 minutes to plan, draft, revise and edit this writing. Write in a way that allows you to show off all you know about informational writing.
In your writing, make sure you include:
-Write a beginning that gets readers interested in the subject and sets them up to learn more about it.
-Include facts and details (examples, stories, statistics, expert words) to teach readers important information and ideas about the subject.
-Organize your writing using transitions words to help readers understand how the information goes together.
-Write an ending, ideally one that reminds readers why this subject is important.
On the preceding day, students were given 30 minutes of online research, where they could take notes. They could use their notes the next day to help them write their essay.
The students also continued their year-long ‘Free Choice Writing Project’ where they continued the process of writing and publishing their own realistic or fantasy story on their laptops using a Google doc. The students also worked on a blog post of their Melaka trip and used pics taken from the trip. I also continued reading our current read aloud titled, ‘Refugee’ by Alan Gratz. The students also continued daily typing practice from 7:55 - 8:10am using the www.typing.com program.
