This year, the 5th grade classes switch for Science and Social Studies. Ms. Burda teaches Social Studies, and Mrs. Fish teaches Science. 🙂

Parents: If you are interested, this is the New York State K-8 Social Studies Framework

5th grade social studies is titled The Western Hemisphere! Here's some information from NYSED on what 5th grade social studies is all about: "Grade 5 Social Studies is based on the history and geography of the Western Hemisphere, including the development of cultures, civilizations, and empires; interaction between societies; and the comparison of the government and economic systems of modern nations. It also incorporates elements of archaeology. The course is divided into seven Key Ideas that cover a time span from prehistory into modern times."
