Weekly Newsletter Grade 5
Dates: November 19-23, 2018
Curriculum Information for the Week:
Literacy:
Students will be continuing their Nonfiction reading and writing units. These units will be integrated with our science unit, so students will be using texts about sustainable energy to improve their nonfiction reading. This week we will understanding more complex nonfiction text and practice writing various text structures (compare/contrast, problem/solution, description, chronological order)
Math:
Students will be tuning in to coordinate planes this week. We will use important vocabulary to express ourselves and explain our thinking, focusing on one quadrant of the coordinate plane. They will be plotting ordered pairs, as well as reading and interpreting data on coordinate planes. Students will continue to review our learning from Unit 1 and Unit 2 in the daily warm ups.
Unit of Study:
We will continue to work with the Sustainable Energy unit. Classes will continue to get into the labs working with circuits and get to build their own LED flashlight. We will read nonfiction texts to support our understanding of energy.
