Math - Acquire knowledge of concepts including whole numbers, decimals, fractions, percents, measurement, geometry, and data interpretation. Emphasize application of these concepts through problem solving.

Science - Explore topics including Weather, Biomes, Plants, The Earth, Metrics, Properties of Matter, Laws of Motion, and Human Body Systems.
Special Areas - Students have the opportunity to participate in PE, band, technology, and a variety of elective classes.
In addition to the content areas, fifth graders are assisted in developing personal and people skills. Possessing traits such as organization, study habits, responsibility, work ethic, perseverance, appropriate behavior choices, honesty, respect for others, manners, and cooperation will benefit students for a lifetime.
We take time every day to write assignments and important reminders in our AGENDAS. Parents, please review your child's agenda with him/her on a regular basis.
