Weekly Newsletter Grade 5
Dates: April 22-26th
Dear Parents,
Curriculum Information for this Week:
Literacy: Students continue to learn about Social Issues and Human Rights through picture books, historical fiction, biographies and autobiographies. Classes have been diving further into Informational text while focusing one social issue and/or a Human Rights Issue. Ask your child which human rights issue his/her class is exploring. Classes have been building a thesis with a focus on a social issue including different social change makers. All of this is in preparation for creating our class presentations for Night of the Notables, May 7th.
Math: This week we will begin our Volume and Measurement Unit. Students will estimate and measure shapes. Students will also explore liquid volume using water and make comparisons. Students will explore volume by building and counting unit cubes in order to understand volume.
Unit of Study: We will continue our Social Change unit by preparing for ‘Night of the Notables’ 2019 presentation and begin writing our scripts as a class. Students will begin to think about a Change Maker or Social Issue that they would like to explore for their Social Change Blackboard presentations. The Night of the Notables presentations will be on May 7th at 5:00pm in the RBG Theatre. We will continue preparing for our Night of the Notables this week.
