READING / LANGUAGE ARTS
Fifth Grade English Language Arts develops thoughtful readers, skilled writers, and independent thinkers. Through HMH Into Reading and Empowering Writers, students strengthen reading comprehension, vocabulary, grammar, and written expression while making meaningful connections between reading and writing.
Students learn to recognize genre, author’s purpose, organization, and literary elements, while developing the skills to analyze and respond to text. Writing instruction focuses on organization, elaboration, strong vocabulary, and clear expression across narrative, informational, and opinion writing. As students prepare for middle school, they are encouraged to read critically, communicate effectively, and write with increasing independence and confidence.
SCIENCE
Fifth Grade science encourages students to ask questions, investigate ideas, and make connections to the world around them. Using the Scott Foresman Science curriculum, students explore concepts in life, earth, and physical science while developing scientific thinking and problem-solving skills.
Through hands-on activities, observation, and investigation, students learn to gather information, draw conclusions, and communicate their understanding—building a strong foundation for middle school science.
MATHEMATICS
Fifth Grade mathematics builds confidence, accuracy, and strong problem-solving skills as students prepare for more advanced math. Using the Sadlier Mathematics curriculum, students strengthen their understanding of whole numbers, fractions, decimals, measurement, geometry, and other key mathematical concepts.
Students are encouraged to think critically, explain their reasoning, and apply mathematical skills to real-world problems. Through continued practice and increasingly complex concepts, they develop the strong foundation and independence needed for middle school mathematics.
SOCIAL STUDIES
Fifth Grade Social Studies invites students to explore the people, events, and ideas that shaped our nation. Using myWorld Social Studies: Building Our Nation, students develop an understanding of American history, geography, government, and citizenship.
Students are encouraged to make connections between the past and present, examine different perspectives, and think critically about historical events. Through discussion, reading, and engaging activities, they build the knowledge and skills needed to become thoughtful and informed learners.
