Weekly Update - September 9th, 2016

5th Grade Weekly Update
Dear Parents,
Welcome once again to the new school year and to Grade 5 at HIS.
The first two weeks have been spent familiarizing the students with our routines in Grade 5. We have worked together to ensure that every student is aware of the need for organization at this level and the students have done well to adapt to the new system.
It has been good to see the level of interest in learning exhibited by each of the students so far and I have certainly enjoyed getting to know them better since the start of the school year. Now that our initial diagnostic and formative assessments are mostly completed, I am happy for us to start tackling the curriculum in a more in-depth fashion and I look forward to all of the work the students will produce in the coming year.

What we learned This week
Math: Topic 1 –  Place Value
Literacy: Realistic Fiction/Sequence of Events/Narrative Perspective  
Science: Part One – The Nature of Science
Social Studies: Ch. 1 The Land  - Landforms
What we will learn Next week
