In 5th grade reading, we focus on encouraging students to make inferences and read between the lines. We read novels together in class so that 5th grade readers can have the experience of studying a book closely, making predictions, and getting to know its characters. We also work on building stamina and teaching students to read for a long period of time with a high-level of comprehension. The reading teachers also teach social studies—where we study American history—and Language Arts combined. We help our students refine their writing and grammar.

 

Bonner scientists will be developing a clear understanding of the world

finishing up studying life Science and we will begin reviewing for TAKS and taking
benchmark tests.
