What Will You Learn? 
 
Language Arts
We will write, write, write!  We will improve our skills in writing three point paragraphs using descriptive language and direct quotes.
Math
Do you know your multiplication facts?  We will continue with  addition, subtraction, multiplication, and division.  In fifth grade we will also learn to use decimals, fractions, and work with larger numbers.  Story problems will continue to be an important part of our math.
Social Studies
Get ready to set sail with the explorers, live like the Pilgrims, and walk the battlefields of the Revolutionary and Civil Wars.  We will apply the United States Constitution to our everyday lives and learn how Congress makes laws.
Science
Expect hands on experiments while we learn more about life science, physical science, earth science, and the human body.
Reading
Our new Reading Series looks like it will be a great addition to our curriculum.  This year we will be working in smaller reading groups and making use of language arts centers.  We will continue to use Accelerated Reader, so challenge yourself to read to your potential.  I have ordered several new chapter books.  They include some historical fiction and some fun and exciting adventure books.  We will also continue to use literature sets in small group and whole class settings.  

So hold on to your hats and get ready for a GREAT year!!
