This month, fifth graders will be discussing respect, effective communication and empathy skills and how each of these relate to problem solving and reducing anger in situations where anger might escalate.
Character Counts
The 5th graders will work this month on a citizenship project. After discussing what citizenship is, they will work in groups to form surveys and potential programs that might benefit our school!

Bullying Prevention
During the month of September, 5th graders were given the opportunity to rate themselves on various study habits. Some were very surprised at improvements that they could make. Our focus during the month was Study Skills and included topics such as test taking preparation and following (all) directions, written and verbal. These are skills they will need in Middle School and beyond!
This month (October) we will do some work on bullying prevention. This week we will talk about being proud of who we are and embracing each others differences.
Back to School!
Week 1: What's Your Interest? Students will become aware of personal interests by filling out an interest inventory.
Week 2: Educational Plans Are Important we will be discussing the importance of having an educational plan as well as write individual goals.
