FIFTH GRADE CURRICULUM
By Fifth grade, students have mastered navigating the routines and expectations of the school. They are handling increasingly challenging work as they tackle more difficult academic requirements in the classroom.
In Language Arts, students will be challenged to read many different genres with an interpretive eye and will be doing more independent reading, and writing book reports that analyze characters and plot. Emphasis is given to the writing process as students master editing for punctuation, flow, and clarity of thought.
In Math, Fifth graders will be solving more complicated problems using multiplication, division, subtraction, and addition within the same problem utilizing “order of operations”. Conversion of fractions, number plotting, and data sets will be introduced.
In Science, students will study the Solar system, photosynthesis, the digestive system, and the chemical properties of elements which will involve the scientific method.
In History and Social Studies, Fifth graders will focus on citizenship as they are challenged to analyze what they learned about our nation’s history. They will learn about the development of our government and its branches.
