Weekly Newsletter Grade 5
Dates: March 12-16
Dear Parents,
Curriculum Information for this Week:
Literacy: We will be taking the Fantasy Writing Assessment Monday and Tuesday. Students will have two 60 minute sessions to plan, draft and revise. They will have their trusty rubric by their side to guide their writing, as well as the anchor charts and writing tools that they have been using throughout the unit.
Math: The students continue working on Unit 5: Multiplying & Dividing Fractions. The focus continues to be on conceptual understanding of these skills using a variety of manipulatives and also drawing models to show their thinking. The assessment will be this Thursday.
Unit of Study: We are beginning our unit on Social Change. This will conclude with the famous “Night of the Notables” in May.
This week we will:
- Start a historical fiction read aloud
- Begin reading historical fiction and social issue picture books
- Tune in to ‘Social Change’ learning about the ‘Human Rights’ UDHR and the Global Goals
- Review the presenters from our ‘Social Change Makers Conference’ in semester 1

Highlight last week:
The Student-Led-Conferences were a big success. The students did a wonderful job of sharing their learning, parents asked probing questions to help facilitate the conference, and I was so proud. Thank you for making this a success.
