READING
Reader’s Workshop Model
• Teacher teaches targeted mini-lessons that meet state standards
• Students self-select “just right” books to read silently
• Students practice skills from mini-lessons using their own book or teacher selected passage
• Teacher facilitates 1:1 conferencing and small guided groups
Resources • Scott Foresman (CSD adopted anthology)
• Storyworks magazine by Scholastic
• Leveled books
• Literature Studies (Holes, Tuck Everlasting, The Sign of the Beaver, and Mrs. Frisby and the Rats of NIMH
WRITING
Writer’s Workshop Model
• Teacher teaches targeted mini-lessons that meet state standards
• Students practice writing in their journals
• Teacher facilitates 1:1 conferencing and small guided groups
Writing Forms
• Personal Narratives
• Report Writing
• Informational Writing*
• Persuasive Writing*
*Mostly likely will be assessed on these two forms in future grades
Traditional • 20 words a week • Weekly words based on
spelling patterns • Words are different each
week • No emphasis on spelling
correctly in writing
TRADITIONAL SP EL L ING VS. S ITTON
Sitton Spelling • Number varies each
week
• Words based on targeted skills lessons and pulled from grade level priority and core words
• Words are cycled…they keep popping up.
• Focused emphasis on proofreading skills and improving spelling in content areas (reading, writing, science, etc.)
Spelling is now part of the Writing grade on Report Cards. An indicator score of 1, 2, 3, or 4 will be given based on student achievement on spelling tests and spelling within their writing.
SOCIAL STUDIES
In fifth grade, students use their understanding of social studies concepts and cause-and-effect relationships to study the development of the United States up to 1791.
• History
• Geography
• Economics
• Civics
SOCIAL STUDIES
~Development of Indigenous Societies ~First Contact with Europeans
~Explorers ~Colonization ~Rising Tensions between Colonies and Britain
~The Revolutionary War ~ The Constitution and Government
Areas of Study
SCIENCE
Grades 4 – 5 consists of nine Core Content
Standards within the science domains.
• Physical Science (force and motion, states of matter, and heat, light, sound and electricity)
• Earth and Space Science (earth in space, formation of earth materials, and focus on fossils)
• Life Science (structures and behaviors, food webs, and heredity and adaptation)
Within the context of several science lessons.. • Systems…how the parts of objects, plants, and animals are
connected and work together.
• Inquiry…conduct a variety of investigations.
• Application…product of own design to solve a problem.
