Fifth grade is a wonderful time of growth and development, both academically and personally/socially. For the 2024-2025 school year, I will be providing instruction in 5th grade Social Studies, writing, and reading through the use of literature that aligns with the curriculum. In addition to whole group and small group instruction, we will be using Google Classroom as well as Time for Kids magazine for information about current events. Careful planning with the ELA, Math, Science, AIS, and Special Education teachers will ensure a team approach to meet student needs with a content-rich and unique learning experience. Students will have the opportunity to gain the necessary skills for success in middle school, as they continue the transition toward greater independence.
