Welcome to our 5th grade science and social studies website.

A journey of curiosity, deeper academic understanding, and middle school preparation awaits us!​

We completed our social studies unit entitled, The Colonial Era, on January 29th. The European settlement of North America led to profound global impacts. In this Inquiry, students went beyond a single narrative to explore causes of migration to the So-Called New World, and the consequences arising from contact and collision between cultures. They investigated how geography influenced the unique regional identities and economics of the colonies, which established a web of trade and gave rise to slavery.

If your child is not satisfied with the test's overall score, this can be rectified quite simply. Ask the homeroom teacher for permission to retake it during WIN time; or any other time available during our school day.

We began our next Mystery Science unit entitled, Spaceship Earth, on January 30th. Students will explore patterns of the Earth, Sun, Moon, and stars. They will investigate how shadows change throughout the day, how the Sun's position changes throughout the year, and how stars change throughout the seasons, as well as create Earth, Sun, and Moon models to explore Moon patterns.​​
