Fifth Grade Curriculum and
Special Events
|
|
|
Language Arts consists of Spelling, English and Reading.
Spelling: We test each Friday beginning with states and capitals. Then
we do one unit per week (including 4 day weeks) until the end of the
year.
|
|
|
English: The textbook focuses on parts of speech. We will
also do several forms of writing including poetry, narratives, compare/contrast
and persuasive. |
|
|
Reading: We will read several novels throughout
the year that integrate with our science and social studies units. Book
reports will be assigned
occasionally.
|
|
|
Math: We will cover fractions, decimals, place value, multiplication and
division by 2 and 3 digit numbers, and geometry. It is very important
that the students have a good foundation in basic multiplication.
|
|
|
Social Studies: American History (U.S. geography including
states and capitals) is our topic. We cover early settlers, 13 colonies,
Revolutionary War, Civil War, Westward Movement (pioneer simulation) and
the 20th Century. |

Science: Our topics are Biomes, food chains
in Ecosystems, Cycles in Nature (i.e. water and rock cycles), Magnets & Electricity,
