Mathematical Practices
• Make sense of problems and persevere in solving them
• Reason abstractly and quantitatively
• Construct viable arguments and critique the reasoning of others
• Model with mathematics• Use appropriate tools

Each student has been given a user name and password for IXL math. The District has
purchased this for every student in the district. Please encourage your child to use
this program and use it often. We will be offering an after school Scholar’s Club so
that children who are unable to do IXL Math at home will be able to practice it at school.
This is an excellent program and truly reinforces skills taught daily in class!
IXL MATH
STAR TESTING IN MATH
THE STUDENT’S HAVE TAKEN A STAR TEST ALREADY THIS YEAR. THESE TESTS ARE SIMMILIAR TO STAR READING TEST THAT WAS USED LAST YEAR. IT IS
USED TO MONITOR THE PROGRESS OF YOUR CHILD’S

NEW YORK STATE COMMON CORE K‐8 SOCIAL STUDIES
FRAMEWORK
Social Studies Education in the 21st Century:
Rationale:In the interconnected world of the 21st century, it is necessary to revise the New York State Social Studies Core Curriculum to ensure that teaching and learning in Social Studies are rigorous and prepare students to be college and career ready. (The standards IN Social Studies are lumped within non-fiction reading and literacy standards. The SS framework is still in the draft form.)
Grade 5 Social Studies is based on the history and geography of the Western Hemisphere,
including the development of cultures, civilizations, and empires, interaction between
societies, and the comparison of the government and economic systems of modern nations. It also incorporates elements of some of the social sciences. The course is divided into eight Key Ideas that cover a time span
from prehistory into modern times.
Grade 5: The Western Hemisphere
SOCIAL STUDIES
The Grade 5 Social Studies program
stresses geographic, economic, and social/cultural
understandings related to the United States, Canada, and Latin
America.
GRADE 5 SOCIAL

To meet Common Core State Standards in Science, the Elementary
Science Program at Lake Shore stresses learning that is hands-on,
process-oriented and inquiry–based. It encourages students to critically think rather than just memorize.
