5th Grade
Community Partner: Senior Citizens
The 5th Grade students host a social gathering with Senior Citizens from our community that will visit our school. The 5th Graders provide musical entertainment and light refreshments. In addition, 5th Graders have the opportunity to visit with and interview this population with prepared and spontaneous questions/conversation. They will learn and write about their personal histories as they make inter-generational connections in their community.
Curriculum Connections: This project has curriculum ties to the content areas of English Language Arts, Social Studies and Music. In the area of English Language Arts, students create invitations, write questionnaires and summarize information into brief historical accounts. They practice speaking and listening skills using appropriate oral conventions and discourse. With regard to Social Studies, students develop a sense of time and historical perspective as they make inter-generational connections in their community. They also learn about citizenship and civic engagement.
