SHARING THE PLANET

Students will learn about how access to clean water affects communities around the world. They will inquire into the causes and effects of water-related challenges and examine how human actions influence water as a resource. Through research and communication, students will build conceptual understandings of responsibility, equality, and well-being. They will investigate real-world issues, conduct experiments, and develop empathy as they learn how water connects to health, safety, and opportunities.

PERSPECTIVE WITH PURPOSE

Students will explore texts to identify and understand the messages they carry. They will ask questions, connect new vocabulary to what they already know, and examine how authors use language to convey meaning. Through writing, students will create personal narratives that communicate their own messages connected to the unit of inquiry, using descriptive language and thoughtful word choices. By combining reading strategies and writing skills, they will gain a deeper understanding of how texts can share ideas and express important messages.

MEASUREMENT

Students will explore how to measure length, mass, capacity, time, and temperature using standard and non-standard units. They will estimate, compare, and record measurements, and use tools like rulers, thermometers, and calendars. Students will read time on both digital and analogue clocks to the nearest quarter hour and use timelines to sequence events. They will solve real-life problems by choosing the right tools and units. Through hands-on activities, students will build a clear understanding of how and why we measure.

NUMBER OPERATIONS

In this unit, students will build fluency with addition, subtraction, multiplication and division. They will explore how operations connect and can be shown in different ways. Students will use mental strategies to solve problems when working with facts to 20, use a range of strategies to add and subtract bigger numbers, and conceptually explore multiplication and division. They will double, halve and skip count to solve problems and model equations. Through word problems and hands-on practice, students will develop confidence and flexibility with number operations.
