Weekly Newsletter Grade 5
Dates: Feb 19 - Feb. 23, 2018
Dear Parents,
Curriculum Information for this Week:
Literacy: Grade 5 students continue to work on their fantasy stories. This week we focus on making our stories believable by adding details to our settings, internal and external character traits and making sure to show not tell throughout our stories. Independent reading this week will have a focus on finding examples of figurative language.
Math: The students continue working on Unit 5: Multiplying & Dividing Fractions. They are drawing models to show their thinking. The students will begin to dig into dividing fractions.
Unit of Study: Students will investigate and research a question regarding at least two body systems and how they work together. After they have made a plan they will start to put together a model of the systems to show how they interact. This week students will begin to visit the science labs and Maker Space to work on their interactive projects.
