Language Arts in 5th Grade
What Does Instruction Look Like?
What Will My Child be Learning this Year?
Unit 1: Reader Habits, Unit 2: Narrative Structure, Unit 3: Aspects of Realistic Fiction, Unit 4: Informational Texts/Text structure, Unit 5: Non-fiction-Quoting Accurately and Identifying Multiple Main Ideas, Unit 6: Theme/Compare and Contrast/Point of View, Unit 7: Analyzing Multiple Accounts from various view points and explaining relationships in historical,scientific, and technical texts, Unit 8: Poetry, Unit 9: Persuasion unit, Unit 10:Non-Fiction text structures
++ The order of these may change as we talk as a 5th grade team and adjust things from last year to help them learn and grow as much as they can.
- We start each lesson with a mini-lesson where students learn a new concept for the day or the week; the teacher models the concept from authentic text (picture book/chapter book)
- Students work in groups or individually with teacher to apply the skills
- Students then work independently to apply the skill
- All students are reading independent chapter books at their levels in class while stopping and jotting about what they are reading.
- All students are in guided reading levels at their reading level to help them reach their full potential and make growth.

Math in 5th Grade
What Does Instruction Look Like?
Unit 1: Area and Volume, Unit 2: Whole Number Place Value and Operations, Unit 3: Fraction Concepts dealing with Addition and Subtraction, Unit 4: Decimal Concepts and Coordinate Grids, Unit 5: Operations with Fractions, Unit 6: Investigations in Measurement; Decimal Multiplication and Division, Unit 7: Multiplication of Mixed Numbers; Geometry; Graphs, Unit 8: Applications of Measurement, Computation, and Graphing
- We use EveryDay Mathematics as our curriculum.
- We start with a warm up and review problems.
- We bring the class together, take notes, and go over new concepts for the day.
- We practice math in small groups doing problems that are at each child’s level.
- We play math games that support the development of mathematics for each of our kids. This also is a way to help drive up the interest level for all kids.
- We assign homework on a daily basis that is either further practice of problems or reflection on what we learned in class that day.
