5th Grade Curriculum

Math

One of my goals for this year is to record myself as I teach. I know the math can be confusing with the new strategies. Please check here often for videos of new strategies and ways to support your child.

In science, we will spend the 1st 9 weeks on cells and classification.

In social studies, we will learn about the Immigration, World War I, 1920s, and the Great Depression.
