“Education is not the filling of a pail, but the lighting of a fire.”

We are pleased to welcome you to our Fifth Grade Website. We hope this will be your portal to many of the activities and much of the information about what we do in our classrooms this year. If you have any suggestions on how we might improve the site, don’t hesitate to let your child’s teacher know. We are always looking for good ideas.

We are using the Wonders reading program, where students will delve deeper into reading skills such as comprehension, vocabulary, phonics, grammar, fluency as well as writing.
Math
Students will be using the Go Math program, in which they will learn about place value, adding, subtracting, multiplying and dividing fractions, as well as measurement in the English and Metric systems.
Science
Do you know how electricity works, how matter changes from one state to another, how you got your eye color, or how a volcano forms?
Social Studies
Students will learn about the exploration and colonization of North America, the Revolutionary War, the Constitution, the branches of government and their role in society, citizen’s rights and responsibilities, and Modern America.
