5th Grade
Making Meaningful Connections Across Subjects
In 5th Grade, students will begin to draw meaningful connections between American History, Literature, and Geography as they read texts ranging from the Newbery award-winning Hatchet to the illustrated Explorers of North America.
With our detailed lessons, 5th-grade students will:
- Continue to develop strong writing skills, composing a short story, op-ed, narrative, and explanatory texts.
- Develop literary analysis skills while exploring themes, characters, setting, and conflict in texts chosen to engage your child’s imagination.
- Explore how the Earth’s geosphere, hydrosphere, atmosphere, and biosphere interact.
- Investigate the history of the U.S. and his/her home state from Reconstruction through the modern era.
- Continue developing a strong number-sense, mental-math and problem-solving skills while learning to multiply two-digit numbers, practicing long division, and working with decimals and fractions.
