| Grade 5 Curriculum
Entry into fifth grade marks a new level in learning. How one learns is every bit as important as what one learns. In fifth grade the content material is more of a challenge as are the skills to learn it. Fifth graders learn many new study skills, note taking methods, problem solving strategies, and writing strategies for the formal paragraph. Technology is blended into the curriculum as students make various presentations using Power Point and Keynote, composing their writing at the computer, designing graphic organizers to organize facts learned in science and social studies, to creating a book based on “A Day in the Life of a Fifth Grader.” Learning is often an interactive experience such as a re-enactment of the first year of Plymouth Colony or a day of school in 1860. Language arts, science, math, social studies, and religion are taught remembering our Salesan spirituality and St. Francis deSales who said, “Be who you are and be that well.”
