Much of the Language Arts in fifth grade is integrated into the Science and Social Studies Units. You will see our main themes listed below. We are using the Math in Focus program. As a fairly new program in the district we are still adjusting the rate and order in which we cover Mathematics topics. Your child’s math teacher will keep you apprised of upcoming topics.
Here is a rough sketch of the Science and Social Studies topics we will study this year:
September – Exploration & Early Colonization
October/November – Colonization & Chemistry
November/December – Human Body Systems
January/February – Astronomy
February/March – Colonial Period
April/May – American Revolution & Setting Up Our Government
June – Local History Tie-In
