Fifth grade offers new challenges for our students as we continue
along the path of academic excellence. We move up to the second
floor of our school building to become a part of the older school
community.
Our Catholic faith is the most important element of our academic
program. We study the Sacraments in depth. We meet a number of Saints
- some old favorites as well as some recently canonized. Our goal,
too, is to make students globally aware of their mission to bring
Christ to others through prayer, sacrifice, and good works.
In September we experienced
the life of a sailor of the 1830's as we boarded the Pilgrim for an
overnight adventure.
In social studies, we have an introduction to United States history.
In the spring, each student researches and writes a full-length report, followed by an oral report about one of the states.
Math includes the addition, subtraction, multiplication, and division
of large whole numbers as well as fractions. We study decimals and
their relationship to fractions. We work on word problems, as well
as drilling for mastery and accuracy of basic facts.
Our science program includes the study of living things, water
and weather on Earth and space. Hands-on lab experiences supplement the curriculum.
Language arts include the study of chapter books, as well as a
basic literature series with components of spelling, grammar, and
English mechanics.
Through all of our studies, we follow the California State Curriculum
Standards.
