• MATH  Using Saxon math, the math curriculum includes addition, subtraction, multiplication, and division of whole numbers and decimals, data collection and interpretation, measurement and geometry, and the wonderful world of fractions.

• READING  A wide variety of materials are used in the five reading classrooms. The Houghton/Mifflin textbook titled EXPLORE, thematic webs, and whole-class novels are used to teach reading strategies and develop a life-long love of reading.

• ENGLISH  Schuler 5th graders will focus on writing strategies using Strategies for Writers, their new writing curriculum. Writing projects will include narrative, descriptive, expository, and persuasive writing. 

• SCIENCE  Who doesn't love it? The earth, energy, human transport systems, and the solar system make up the 5th grade science curriculum at Schuler. Hands on activities and study trips are important to this curricular area.

• SOCIAL STUDIES  Map Skills, Native Americans, Colonization of America, Revolutionary War, Westward Movement, Civil War, and Immigration are featured in 5th grade social studies classes at Schuler.

• TECHNOLOGY  Using the computer lab in the Schuler Media Center is a favorite activity for 5th graders. Equipped with a total of 50 iMacs the two labs allow two entire classes to search the Internet, create a Power Point project, find Carmen SanDiego by solving math problems, or design their own webpages using Dreamweaver.
