Welcome to fifth grade, finale of the elementary years spent at Maplebrook!

Fifth graders will work on strengthening their reading skills through continued work on comprehension strategies. Reading is presented in a variety of settings, such as guided reading groups, independent reading, and shared reading. Our literacy learning continues with further development in the Six Traits of Writing.

In math, our year begins with a focus on fractions. As the middle of the year draws near, students will deepen their understanding of the relationship between fractions, decimals, and percentages. Students will learn beginning algebra through a unique hands-on approach. These engaging algebraic activities lead to an exploration of patterns. The year is rounded out with the study of statistics and probability.

Social science is US history taught through the themes of revolution, pluralism, and power. Science will be filled with wonder and discovery as students learn about nature's decomposers, energy transfers, and the Earth's changing surface. Fifth grade offers unique experiences through outdoor education, safety patrol, student council leadership, and other personal growth opportunities that will prepare students for their transition to middle school.
