This year the students will be expected to become proficient in long division and multiplication with three digits. We will also spend a great deal of time becoming familiar with all aspects of fractions and the use of decimals in whole number operations.
Social studies will see us moving through world geography and study the continents of Europe and Asia.
In reading we will use various types of materials. We will read stories from the text, and this will be supplemented by reading 2 - 3 novels. We will begin by reading Elizabeth Speare's novel Sign of the Beaver in conjunction with the social studies unit on Native Americans. Later in the year we will read Roll of Thunder, Hear My Cry.

Religious Studies
The aim of Fifth Grade religion is to instruct the students to become
followers of Jesus Christ and to enable the to witness their faith. We
us two textbooks: Christ Our Life: We Worship
and Faith and Life Series: Credo: I Believe.
We focus on the lives of the saints, the sacraments, the church and the
liturgy of the Mass. The students develop an understanding and
appreciation of Christian worship through prayer and service projects.
