Hello and welcome to our wonderful community! We're so excited to have you and your child join us for 5th grade at Bethke Elementary.
Our goal is to foster a love for learning in every student, helping them discover that learning truly is a blast! We believe that with a positive attitude and hard work, all children can achieve anything they set their minds to. We strive to make this a favorite school year for your child, filled with exciting learning opportunities that resonate with each unique learner. Thank you for trusting us with your child.
Welcome to an engaging and enriching year of learning! In 5th grade, your child will build upon their strong foundation by diving deeper into fourth-grade math concepts, ensuring a solid understanding for future challenges. Our exploration of American history will take us on a captivating journey across the 50 states and their capitals, then westward to learn about Native American cultures and the significant era of westward expansion. Literary adventures await as we immerse ourselves in compelling novels like The Science of Breakable Things and the timeless classic Don Quixote. In science, students will investigate the wonders of the universe through astronomy, discover the intricacies of plants, explore the fundamentals of chemistry, and much more, fostering a lifelong curiosity about the world around them.
