等一下，孩子们，我们要搬家了! 想让孩子为升一级而兴奋吗? Tell them they have a whole separate classroom for science; and, 一个 for Spanish; and, 去吧, 选择一种乐器或在唱诗班大声唱歌. 也许可以竞选学生会主席! More choices begin for students in the fourth and fifth grades, as do added responsibilities. 别担心, 凭借他们新兴的探险技能, 问题解决者, 和确, 这些学生已经准备好亲自动手了. Whether they're designing a tiny house to scale including all of the prerequisites (like furniture and a bathroom), or planting and composting in the garden with the promise of a harvest taste-test later, 这些有能力的冒险家可能会认真对待他们的主题, 但他们也以一种不屈不挠的热情接受这些挑战. (这也有助于他们的老师有同样的感觉!)
四年级
It may not sound like a big deal to adults who seem always to be at the mercy of their ability to multitask, 但是对于一个四年级学生来说, 应付多种需求可能是一个陌生的概念. 学生s in this grade are preparing for the increased independence and responsibility that awaits them in their upper grades. 他们拿到了自己的第一个日程安排. 他们走到不同的教室学习某些科目. They present their first research topic via PowerPoint in front of classmates and family members in the auditorium at the end of the year. They are given the option of selecting band or chorus for their music requirement. It's an exciting time as they start to move into their roles as "big kids" in the 较低的学校, 但要兼顾的事情很多. 我们的老师热爱他们的工作，这是一件好事, because they have become experts at expecting more from our fourth graders while at the same time boosting their confidence as they navigate their newfound independence—and hallways.

Fourth grade students learn to express in writing what they have learned across the curriculum. 因此，写作是每个学术领域不可或缺的一部分. A team of teachers instructs the core courses of math, science, language arts, and social studies. 所有学科领域都强调和教授组织和学习技能. 四年级的亮点包括去威廉斯堡过夜, 向家长展示的ppt项目, 在班级选择上有更多的自由.
体育教育仍然是四年级学生日常生活的一部分, 西班牙语也是如此, w在这里 they explore their creativity and speaking skills with skits they present to family members entirely in Spanish. |

Making more of a book than what is presented on the page takes many forms in these later years in 较低的学校. Our 100 Books program encourages out-of-school reading of books aimed at expanding a child's (and family's) exposure to a wide variety of literary types and topics. 如果在五年级结束前完成, 一个学生从我们的图书管理员那里收到一张特殊的证书和一份礼物.
在年底, 在图书馆和我们的图书管理员进行了数周的研究之后, 以及使用ppt的速成班, each fourth-grade student will deliver a presentation in Fishburn Auditorium. 这个项目为学生提供了研究的机会, 分析, 写, and present on a singular topic and continues the North Cross belief in the benefits of public speaking.
学生可以选择参加其中的任何一种 开始带，介绍木管乐器和铜管乐器，或在 低年级合唱团，突出音乐理论和视唱技巧. 在每周的视觉艺术课上, 学生们学习不同的技巧和艺术家的风格, 全年在不同的媒体工作. |

Getting a point taken off because you forgot to put a check mark next to a correctly spelled Word Study word may seem like a strange way to teach a student to pay attention to detail, 但它是有效的. 学生s in the fifth grade are being primed for their entry into 中学 the following year w在这里 students become their own proofreaders and organizers. A fifth-grade teacher at North Cross doesn't remind her students to bring their planners home at the end of the day. 我们的学生很快学会了做自己的守护者. 在低年级的最后一年, fifth-grade students become prepared for the world of independent study by honing their research skills, 组织, 还有那个该死的撇号该放在哪里.

这听起来可能很奇怪, but the best word with which to describe a fifth grader at North Cross is 'storyteller.这是因为他们学到的一切, 从编码到古代文明, 是通过故事被赋予生命的吗. The study of early humans begins the first few months of a fifth-grader's history curriculum. 但是他们的工作早在学年之前就开始了. 上五年级的暑期必读书目是 画洞里的男孩 作者:Justin F. 丹泽尔. 虽然不是历史教科书, it brings to life the time in which fifth-graders will spend their first weeks of school—the Cro-Magnum era.
有许多课程是通过课堂活动来说明的. Whether it be solving a word problem that will help choose the correct ingredients for a fraction 'pizza,' or performing a controlled science experiment and charting the results for a poster presentation, 我们的老师已经找到了许多方法来教导学生掌握技能, 没有经过测试, 通过赋予主题以生命. It's 一个 thing to have a student memorize facts about an Ancient Egyptian God, but it's entirely another to have him research and present his biography (as the God himself) to their class. Go ahead, ask a fifth-grader what the first written word looked like, they can draw it for you. 他们以前用粘土做过. |

数学老师凯特·克拉克(Kate Clark)最近说，她的学生问:“Mrs. 克拉克，我们什么时候开始学代数?她回答说:“你已经是了。.“学生们即将进入大学的最后一年 新加坡数学, 一个不仅仅强调数学“如何”的课程, 但是“为什么”,通过将数字可视化为“可移动的部分”来理解解决方案.听起来像代数? (2x + 2) + x = 632 used to be something a student couldn't comprehend until 6th or 7th grade. 使用文字问题和条形模型来表示不同的数量, students can visualize the different parts of the problem so that figuring out how to solve it becomes, 好吧, 小学.
一张索引卡能容纳多少信息? What if the only information you could put on it is that which might actually help you in an open-note test? 现在，决定在上面放些什么 一个 卡, 将信息组织起来以便于查找, 然后用你能理解的方式转录出来. This is just 一个 example of the study skills taught which help our students organize information so that they'll have the building blocks for future research papers and presentations.
