Fifth grade is mostly departmentalized which means that most fifth graders will have more than one teacher.
Topics covered in fifth grade for each subject:
ELA- We practice and build on previous reading and writing skills with a focus on reading comprehension and the 5 types of writing (Narrative, Opinion, Informational, Text Dependent, and Descriptive)
Math- Adding fractions with unlike denominators, Multiplying using the Standard Algorithm, Calculate Volume, Plotting points on a coordinate grid
Social Studies- The US Constitution, American history from colonization to expansion, and civil rights
Science- Earth and space sciences, life science, physical science, and technology/engineering
Priority skills to work on at home:
Read every night (ask your teacher for recommendations)
Practice multiplication facts until you memorize them
