Upper School: Intermediate: 4th & 5th Grades
Everyday Math continues in the intermediate grades as students continue to learn the underlying principles and applications of math skills. The balanced literacy approach remains a critical component of learning as students continue reading at personalized levels. Reader’s Workshop, Writer’s Workshop, and Novel Studies allow students to write about their reading and receive individual feedback from teachers. Research and presentation skills are developed through special projects and assignments in Science and Social Studies. Students grow in independence and critical thinking skills during these years.
