Course: Social Studies Grade 5

Curriculum Area: Social Science Credits: NA

Length of Course: Full Year X Half Year

New Course X Revision of Existing Course

Course Pre-Requisites: N/A

Course Description: The fifth grade social studies curriculum enables students to appreciate, demonstrate, and apply their understandings of the economic, geographic, political, historical, and social forces that shaped the American nation between the Federalist Period up through the period of Reconstruction.

Course Philosophy: By examining America’s past, beginning with the first administration under the US Constitution continuing through and including the post-Civil War period of reconstruction, students will acquire the knowledge and skills to think analytically about how our forefathers overcame personal and collective hardships in order to maintain the tenets and beliefs of a representative democracy. By examining these occurrences, students will develop both an understanding and an appreciation for the responsibilities associated with being a citizen of the United States and a citizen of the world.

Course Goals: In fifth grade, the social studies curriculum focuses on the various forces that shaped the United States. As part of that study, students will apply critical thinking skills, analyze information, build effective communication skills, and utilize the modes of inquiry that are central to the social sciences. It is also recognized that our students will require these skills in order to make rational decisions that are consistent with the democratic ideals which form the basis of American democracy.
