The Fifth Grade program builds on the research and study skills the children have begun to learn in previous years.

The theme for the year is “In Search of Systems,” which is designed to teach the skills necessary for sixth grade and beyond: responsibility, respect, problem solving, and organization.

Students can expect to read novels as a class, work in literature circles, and maintain an individual reading log. Vocabulary skills will be built in reading, social studies and math class, and with the use of Wordly Wise vocabulary text.

Our social studies work is comprised of the history of the United States from the early explorers through western expansion, geography, famous Americans and an introduction to the organization of the federal government. Research projects include a state magazine project culminating in a “state fair.”

  

Fifth grade students use the Glencoe text and supplementary materials to build on problem solving and critical thinking skills taught in previous years. Concepts include decimals, fractions and percents, patterns, pre-algebra and geometry.
