This year we are rolling out a brand new, up-to-date Social Studies curriculum! This curriculum uses a combination of online materials and resources as well as traditional textbooks for a dynamic Social Studies experience. 5th Grade students will be learning United States history from the first Native American cultures through to the Industrial Revolution, all the while making connections to the modern country they are growing up in. There will not be regular homework in Social Studies, but the 5th Grade has 2 major projects: Presidents Day (2/20) and Tour of the World (5/8). Much of the work for these will be done in class, but some the students will need to take home. We will also take a field trip to JA Biztown in the Spring to learn about money management and holding a job.
