Entrepreneurship
Fifth grade GRO students will gain a deeper understanding of what it means to run a business as they learn about products & services, supply & demand, planning & budgeting, marketing research, price points and cost analysis.
By the end of the unit the students will have used their critical and creative thinking skills, along with their new found financial and entrepreneurial knowledge to create a new product or service that they will present during a "Shark Tank-like" showcase.

The Brain
During the past few decades, scientists have discovered more about the human brain than was ever thought possible. Fifth grade GRO students will explore our magnificent “mind machine” through various class activities which will culminate in an independent research project. As students pursue understanding the only human organ that can study itself, they may come to a new awareness of their own tremendous potential and hidden personal abilities.
