Exploring Fifth Grade: A Balanced Literacy & Math Adventure

Welcome to fifth grade where students explore connections through reading, writing, math, science, and social studies. The curriculum includes balanced literacy with workshops, small group instruction, and individual conferencing. Major concepts in math focus on place value, computation, fractions, geometry, and volume. Science topics cover physics, astronomy, and human anatomy. Social studies delve into American history from explorers to the American Revolution. Students also engage in social and emotional learning, specials like physical education, art, music, technology, and Spanish, as well as health education. Parental involvement is encouraged through reading, practicing math, discussing current events, American history, and geography, modeling behavior, and supporting long-term projects. Enjoy the fifth grade journey and relax alongside your child at home.
