Welcome Back Fifth Graders!!! We are so excited for this new year to begin! We recently found out that we will be teaching science and social studies for the 2011/2012 school year, and we could not be happier! Science and social studies are our passions. We will learn many things this year!
In social studies we will cover American history from the Civil War through present time. In case you were thinking, "that seems like a lot." Yes! It is a massive amount of information. Our goal is to make it relevant to the students and exciting. We will implement technology often and the students will be completing many hands on activities to keep them engaged.
Some of the science topics we will cover this year are inherited traits, cells, earth science and chemical changes, just to name a few. We believe in the scientific method of experimentation and discovery to promote learning. Our students will conduct many experiments and hands on activities throughout the year. Please check out the academic year calendars for both subjects on the web page. Again, we are going to have a wonderful year. We look forward to teaching your children and preparing them for Middle School!
