Language Arts – The students complete a weekly packet emphasizing a specific language/grammar skill. They then put those learned skills to good use as they practice narrative, descriptive, persuasive and informational writing.

Spelling - Students are taught different word lists ie: difficult spellings, multi syllabic words, prefixes, suffixes etc. and practice them during classroom time. 

Math - We will be using a math series this year called College Prepatory Mathematics (C.P.M.). This series emphasizes working together in groups on math problems. Students will learn to think in different ways. They will compare quantities, visualize ideas, describe and explain their thinking, look for multiple ways of doing problems and seeing ideas, and make sense of ideas and concepts. Whole numbers, algebra, statistics, geometry, decimals, fractions, ratio and proportion are our main focus. 

MN History - Our focus is on Minnesota history, geography, and government for the entire year. During the fourth quarter we work on a Minnesota trip using Google Slides. We may go on a field trip to the state capitol which helps culminates our study.
