Humanities

Grade 5 Humanities classes integrate the Language Arts and Social Studies. We follow ER9's district-endorsed "workshop model" developed by expert Lucy Calkins and Columbia University's Teachers College.

The Fifth Grade Humanities Team includes teachers Caroline Calhoun, Amy Gentile, and Kaitlyn Macaluso. We routinely collaborate and largely mirror one another so that students in each of our classrooms have similar experiences. We work closely with SSES Literacy Coach Kristen Keden to continuously improve our practice and to monitor student progress.
