Welcome to the 5th Grade!
Fifth grade is a year full of transition and growth! Your students are coming into their own, and are ready to broaden their perspectives on the greater world around them. In fifth grade, your students will draw on all they have learned in K-4 and begin to truly create authentic products that exemplify all they know and can now do.
Throughout the year we tie in our rich curriculum with an abundance of deep community work to help students understand their own identity as learners and citizens of the world. We create opportunities that mirror student’s own experiences and open windows into experiences different than their own.
We believe in students feeling safe and comfortable as we lay the groundwork for them to build confidence in themselves and develop a passion for learning.
We are grateful you're a part of our journey this year!
Warm hugs,
Ms. Pehl, Ms. Redmond, Mrs. Dube, and Mrs. Clancy-McCarthy

academics
Click here to review more specifics on our academic curriculum
Essential Questions Snapshots:
Social Studies: Is America the Land of Opportunity and for whom?
Science: What are the relationships and interactions among observable components of all Earth's systems?
Reading: What seems to be the big theme(s) in this story? What evidence from the text support that theme?
Writing: What do authors use in their craft that I can include in my narrative writing?
Math: What is the place value relationships in multi-digit numbers? How can I construct my conjecture and find evidence to support my learning?
Standards Based Grading
Describes what students know and are able to do relative to clear standards & expectations
Separates subject-area achievement from non-academic factors
Our report card has Growth of a Learner to showcase student's work ethic and social skills in addition to specific skills in all academics
Bases report card scores on achievement toward the end of a learning period and shows progress of learning throughout the year
Student Behavior
Every student is expected to show CARES everywhere on the Hanscom Campus
The CARES are the basis for our monthly Gold Falcons and Citizenship Awards, both of which recognize shining moments for any student (Be on the look out for awards going home!)
These are in addition to school rules such as no hats/hoodies, airpods, or cell phones!
