Curriculum in 5th Grade

At Heritage Elementary, we are so fortunate to have access to the best curriculum to use for our students.  This allows me, as a teacher, to be creative while still meeting state standards along with the needs of my students.  In my classroom, you will see a lot of student collaboration integrated in daily lessons.  I strive to cultivate critical, analytical thinking in teaching in hopes that your child will become an independent and creative thinker.  If you have any questions regarding what curriculum we are using, please let me know!
