Weekly Newsletter Grade 5

Dates: October 24 - 27

Curriculum Information for the Week:

Literacy: Students will be starting their Nonfiction reading and writing unit, including taking a writing pre-assessment.  This unit will be integrated with our science unit, so students will be using texts about sustainable energy to improve their nonfiction reading.

Math: Students will begin their work with coordinate planes.  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 get started with our Sustainable Energy unit.  Classes will begin tuning in activities to spark curiosity.  Students will also do the lab safety lesson and do their first science lab exploration.
