The content of the Fifth Grade curriculum is divided into four central themes in order to foster a foundation in learning about Native American and Early American culture, history, geography, economics and government. The course integrates a variety of materials such as media, technology, role-playing, and meaningful literature, as well as a range of teaching methods. In addition, students will be exposed to a variety of primary resources to develop critical thinking. Differentiated instruction, technology driven lessons, and a combination of individual and group work will prepare students to become successful members of their ever-changing community and country.
