5Th grade goals: What to expect in fifth grade
What to expect in fifth grade
In fifth grade, your child will build on the skills she developed in fourth grade and study many of the same subjects at a higher level.
She will read many types of literature and informational material, think critically about what she reads, and discuss it with the teacher and other students. She will write for many different purposes and learn new writing techniques, including making effective transitions, using dialogue to advance the plot and creating a mood, such as suspense. In math she will work with fractions, decimals, negative numbers and very large numbers (in the billions). She will also focus on multiplying and dividing multi-digit numbers.
Tonya Breland, our teacher consultant, explains: “While preparing your child for fifth grade, keep in mind her growing understanding of more complex issues in society. This is a great time to get involved in community service activities to help foster character development, a sense of giving and responsibility. “
Ramping up reading skills
To help your child be ready for fifth-grade reading, encourage him to read many different types of text this summer. If he enjoyed a novel about baseball, encourage him to read about his favorite team in the sports section of the newspaper or on the Internet. If he enjoyed a nonfiction book about the Revolutionary War, encourage him to try a historical novel set in that time period. The children’s librarian at your local library can help you find something to match your child’s interests and reading level.
Everyday math
To prepare your child for fifth-grade math, involve her in solving math problems you encounter in real life. When you go to a store together let her pay and have her check that she received the correct change. She can estimate what the grocery store bill or restaurant bill will be. She can measure the distance you’ll travel on a family trip or help measure a room when you are hanging a picture or rearranging furniture.
Children pass through a range of social, academic and developmental stages, each at their own pace. Below are rough guidelines of what to look forward to in the year ahead.
Physical and social skills you can expect of your fifth grader:
- Develop increasing independence
- Improve problem-solving skills
- Acquire more advanced listening and responding skills
- Need for more sleep
Academic skills you can expect of your fifth grader:
- Enjoy organizing and classifying objects and ideas
- Be able to read and concentrate for long periods of time
- Read complex text fluently and with good comprehension
- Research a topic using a variety of sources and use the features of books (e.g., index, glossary, appendix) to find information
- Identify the conflict, climax and resolution in a story
- Write an organized, multi-paragraph composition in sequential order with a central idea
- Use problem-solving strategies to solve real-world math problems
- Add and subtract fractions and decimals
- Identify and describe three-dimensional shapes, and find their volumes and surface areas
- Use long division to divide large numbers by multi-digit divisors (86,554 / 392)

Goal Setting in 5th Grade
Happy day, friends! It is the start of Fall Break and I am digging this scarf weather. I slept until 7 AM this morning {woohoo}, and am enjoying some time with my Mama Bear 🙂 As our dear friend Pete would say, “It is all good.”
Today, I am linking with Joanne for Spark Student Motivation Saturday. She is a sweet friend who blogs at Head Over Heels for Teaching. Make sure to check Joanne’s blog out for great ideas on motivating students!
Setting up my classroom, I knew goal setting would be a part of my classroom, but I never imagined how important it would become to my students and me. My mentor teacher is a goal-setting fanatic, and she has been such a blessing to me. She has materials and forms for all types of goal setting – behavior, academic, reading, short-term, long-term, etc. {many of the resource below are hers, so I cannot share} Goal setting is part of the ‘fabric’ of her classroom and ensures that expectations are high! As a goal-setting newbie, I have been getting my feet wet with goal setting.
This is what goal-setting looks like in my classroom.
During the first week of school, I asked students to set five goals for their 5th grade year. The only goal that I ‘pushed’ was our class goal of reading 3,600 books (40 per student/year). We talked about all the different ‘parts’ of their lives – school, social, sports, music, etc, and that when we set goals, their goals should reflect the most important parts of their lives. Now, that we are closing our first 9 weeks, we will revisit these goals and see if we are on tracking to accomplishing our goals!
We also set goals for standardized and baseline testing. Our school uses Measures of Academic Progress (MAP) testing three times a year to gauge reading, math, and language skills. The district has established ranges for novice, apprentice, proficient, and distinguished scores that corresponds to our state’s standardized testing in May.
I created this goal-setting sheet for each student that includes MAP testing, as well as, our Reading Common Assessments.
Students record their goals before each assessment {I keep the papers in between ‘goal-setting sessions’ to ensure that they do not enter the black hole of a 5th grader’s desk). Also, at the bottom of the sheet, it asks students how they will reach their goal and how they want to celebrate if they reach their goal!
Students may choose from lots of different celebrations – iPad time, sweet treat, special supplies, lunch with the teacher, lunch with a friend, pick a seat, etc.
All students who earned a Proficient or Distinguished received a small candy treat. Then, students received a voucher to turn in for their ‘real’ prize only if they met their goal. Our friends were so excited to be recognized for their hard work. Plus, who doesn’t love a little extra iPad time. 🙂
Lastly, we also set goals for our Common Assessments (reading tests given to every fifth grader in our district at the end of each unit of learning). Students look at their works for the unit, set a realistic goal {based on their success during the unit}, and choose a celebration.
Then, I filled out the Good Faith Effort form after the test is graded, return the tests, and students reflect on how they did.
Overall, my kids {LOVE} goal setting. We are still learning to set realistic goals, but I really enjoy seeing how motivating the goals are for students. I also really like the ‘reflection’ aspect of our goals. What did I do well? What do I need to practice doing? What reasons did I do well/not do well? For kids who are about to enter middle school, it’s important they take responsibility for monitoring their own growth and success!
How do you goal set? What blog posts can I read? Please give me a shout and let me know! 🙂

pay attention to the different offers here:
some report something, others ask, in
the third contains a request.
Listening to an audio recording; simultaneously distributed
text on sheets. (See Appendix 1)
Let’s find sentences that contain
information.
Students give examples.
Which sentences ask about something.

You can see that each sentence is pronounced
with a specific purpose, i.e. these proposals are different
for the purpose of the statement.
