Language Arts
In the final part of Language Arts for the year, we will finalize our writing on our literary essay unit, showcasing all of our progress during our writing share with parents on Monday, June 3. In reading, we will continue to examine our mentor text Number the Stars, analyzing characters and important events and writing our own individual ‘what happened next’ chapters. We will complete the work on our Book Clubs, with groups sharing their text’s theme, major characters and important events with the rest of the class.
Math
In the final part of our geometry unit, students will continue to explore angles and measure them with increasing accuracy using protractors. Students will use their knowledge of right, straight and whole circle angles to find missing angles. Students will also look at symmetry- especially line symmetry as another way to classify shapes. This will lead into our end of unit test which will be sent home during the last week of school.
Social Studies
Up until the end of the school year we will be deep into our Trade Simulation. Students have been working hard learning about the resources of their country along with other economic factors. By the end of simulation, students will have had the opportunity to design a country flag, decide on their trading product, designate ministers, create an advertisement for their product and trade with their neighboring countries. At the end of the two trading rounds country groups will reflect on the process and its implications.
