5th Grade Curriculum

and Standards

5th grade is a very academic year that begins to link students' elementary education with their middle school education. In the boxes below, you can see the specific units in each subject we tackle throughout the year. You can click on the red subject links for the specific academic standards the state of Connecticut has created for these fifth grade subjects. 

 

You can also check out all of the field trips we take to enhance that content. Click on the red field trip link to see the specifics for each trip, as well as a photo album displaying previous years' adventures.
