5th grade

The 5th grade kicks off the year by signing a mock constitution to understand class rules. Students participate in a Book Tasting to explore different genres and will read books for AR points, create book reports, and read four novels together in ELA. Math covers decimals and fractions, and they will learn about the stock market through The Stock Market Game. Religious studies include the sacraments and memorizing prayers, along with Advent and Lent retreats. Christmas Around the World is one of our highlight projects. Science is STEM-based with a focus on the earth, space, matter and engineering projects, using Snap Circuits provided by the HEF grant. Social Studies focuses on U.S. history, building up to a state report and a State Fair. Field trips include visits to the USS Hornet and California State Capitol.
