Weekly Newsletter Grade 5
Dates: May 13-May 17, 2019
Dear Parents,
Curriculum Information for this Week:
Literacy:
Students will continue to learn about Social Issues and Human Rights. They have chosen a social change issue of interest, done their research and taken notes. They will now work on creating an information or opinion essay about their chosen social issue. They will also link their social issue to a notable person/people who have worked on or are working on improving their social issue. In addition, to writing their essay, the students will continue working on various other pieces of work to be included in their Social Change Blackboard Project. Parents are invited to attend a ‘G5 Social Change Blackboard Project Share’ on Tuesday 4 June from 1:30-2:30 pm in G5 classrooms and common area.
Math:
Students will continue our Volume and Measurement Unit. They will select appropriate units, strategies, and tools for solving problems that involve estimating and measuring volume. They will decompose three-dimensional shapes and find volumes of rectangular prisms by viewing them as decomposed into layers of arrays of cubes. They will measure necessary attributes of shapes in order to determine volumes to solve real world and mathematical problems. Students will also convert like measurement units within the metric system and solve word problems relating to those conversions.
Unit of Study:
Students are immersed in understanding the impacts of social change on a society. The four main areas of focus are…
-Understanding the rights and responsibilities of the individual
-Understanding how some people can influence the lives and thinking of others
-Developing open-ended questions to guide research and understanding
-Using the research process to answer inquiry questions

G5 students and teachers will be involved in a MS Orientation Visit. The orientation program will be conducted from 9:00- 11:00am. All G5 students will be involved in the program. G5 students will not go to their usual PE or World Language lessons on this day. Even if your child is leaving ISKL at the end of this school year, they are expected to participate. The main purpose of the visit is for the students to meet the MS Administrators, their G6 teachers, learn about the Middle School 1:1 laptop program and be introduced to their G6 schedules. The MS will provide our G5 students with a morning snack. Since it’s Ramadan, alternative arrangements will be made during snack time at the MS for those G5 students who are fasting.
