Welcome
to fifth grade! We present a culmination of six years of learning. In
fifth grade we enjoy utilizing a hands-on approach to support our
academic curriculum. Reading is emphasized through the use of the
Accelerated Reader program. The Civil War is studied in social studies,
and in science various units such as living/nonliving things, light,
sound, and geology are covered. In order to enhance the learning
experience many field trips are taken during the school year. These
field trips are designed to develop an appreciation of the local natural
resources. For example, a trip to Jefferson National Forest allows our
students to design and field test science experiments. Throughout the
year there are many contacts between fifth graders and representatives
of Christiansburg Middle School. An important goal for all teachers and
students is paving a smooth transition from elementary to middle
grades.
