In fifth-grade, the overarching theme is "Exploration". Students will explore topics including Identity, European exploration of the "New World", interaction with the indigenous peoples, and colonization leading to the American Revolution. In addition, students will "dig" into a month-long unit on discrimination in January. Many of these topics will be explored via an integrated approach through our EL expeditions and case studies. Oh, and if you would like to "geek out" about Social Studies standards, we've got you covered below!
