Our Fifth Grade Community:
Fifth grade is a year of transition in which students learn skills that will lead them to academic success in middle school and beyond. Many changes such as having their own locker, receiving letter grades, and changing classes all help them become more independent and responsible for their own learning. Team building activities and field trips are scheduled throughout the year. Fifth grade is an exciting year of dynamic growth!
