Grade 5 Program

About

Grade 5 is a special year as it is the last year the student will have a contained classroom. This grade 5 class will focus on utilizing and enjoying this dynamic to fully integrate our learning. Oral and written communication will be a focus in every subject we study. It is only through effective communication that our ideas can be shared. Time each day will be dedicated to the pursuit of mathematical thought, the arts of using the English language to read, write and appreciate literature and time for project integration where we will use a project based learning approach to study and interact with the world around us through social science, natural science.
