Welcome to Fifth Grade!
My name is Mr. Chris Kiser and I am very excited to be teaching Fifth Grade Social Studies and Science this year. My classroom has 25 Chromebooks as tools for impacting student learning. Each student will need a set of headphones/earbuds for my classroom. Students may use the same set of headphones/earbuds for technology class.
The plan is to alternate teaching 2 weeks of Social Studies with 2 weeks of Science. In Social Studies students will learn about early America. Students will be required to learn all 50 states and capitals. They will need help from parents to learn all these facts. Social Studies is not only about dates and facts, it is also about understanding human interactions. The Social Studies class will have discussions, debates, writings, and projects in conjunction with classwork, homework, quizzes, and tests.
The Science class is a lot of fun as students experiment in labs, do projects, and use the computers as learning aides. There will be a Science End of Grade (EOG) test at the end of fifth grade and learning correct terminology is the key to success on the EOG. There will be vocabulary quizzes throughout the course. Parents are encouraged to help students learn the vocabulary for the quizzes and tests.
I am looking forward to a wonderful year. Please subscribe to this blog by using the feature on the right sidebar of this blog page. If you have any questions, just send me an email or call me at the school, or set up a time to conference face to face. Communication is the key to a successful Fifth Grade year.
Blessings,
Chris Kiser
