Fifth Grade Curriculum

Opening Doors to Possibilities

True learning comes through personal discovery. The goal of the Blue Room is to increase students' knowledge base and create possibilities for investigation and discovery while preparing them for middle school.

Meaningful Engagement

Our themes are somewhat flexible and can be altered to meet the interests of our students, but there are several we regularly cover. 

 

In social studies, we focus on geography, the fifty states, capitals, and abbreviations, our government and the election process, Lewis and Clark and pioneers, Westward Expansion and the Industrial Revolution, slavery and the Trail of Tears, the Civil War, and various cultural studies.

​

In science, we focus on scientific investigations; force, motion, and energy transfer; the building blocks of matter; cells; the human body; electricity and magnetism, sound, and light.

Students are placed in math classes based on their needs and abilities.
