This brand-new and important workbook gives parents easy-to-apply methods for educating their fifth-grade children, whether as home schoolers with parents taking full control of their child’s studies, or as parents cooperating with their child’s teachers in standard classroom settings. The book gives parents guiding principles for teaching reading, writing, math, social studies, and science. Pages are perforated for multipurpose use, which can include independent learning by children or shared learning when kids and parents work together. Four curriculum sections are designed to guide teaching parents: Promoting literacy—reading, writing, listening, and speaking . . . Math—number patterns, problem solving, and other math-related concepts . . . Science—life, earth, and physical sciences . . . and Social Studies—history, geography, economics, and culture. Each section outlines subject matter for children to learn, preceded by planning and implementation strategies for parents. Parents get advice on ways to enhance the child’s learning experience. They include Teaching Tips, or ways to explain difficult concepts to children, and ways to assess a child’s success in grasping the given material. There is also advice on integrating the Arts, with suggestions for interactive learning in music and art; and activities and Games to promote hands-on learning experiences that relate to specific subject content. In each subject section a special feature titled In Your Community describes ways to explore the community where the family lives, taking advantage of local cultural affairs, business activities, environmental concerns, and government functions. Though the book is written primarily for parents, fifth-grade classroom teachers looking for new ideas and methods will also find inspiration. This book is one of three titles that introduce teaching methods and offer practical curriculum guides for different grade levels: grades three, five, and six. Additional titles for other K–6 grades are currently in preparation. All books feature maps, photos, and illustrations, many in color..

"There is no easier or more reliable method to get a student from start to proficiency than these workbooks by Structured Learning." With the step-by-step lesson plans, examples of required work, an index to pinpoint when skills are introduced, vocabulary builders and collaborations with other classroom curriculum, the learning becomes a natural flow of knowledge for the student rather than a difficult addition to the already rigorous elementary school learning standards. Priced between $18 and $24, these workbooks will be the best textbook investment you make in your child's learning. In this last Workbook year, fifth graders will confirm their knowledge of fundamental programs by adding new elements that they will find easier and more intuitive to learn than they had ever imagined possible. Fifth graders continue with keyboarding (their goal this year is 30 wpm), vocabulary, weekly homework and problem solving, as well as advancing their knowledge in MS Word, Publisher and Excel. They are introduced to the exciting multimedia opportunities of Photoshop and movie making--with relationships made between other programs already learned--and then challenged to teach themselves the rudimentary steps in programs like Visio and PrintMusic. The most popular project this year was a classroom collaboration. Students created a trifold brochure in Publisher comparing a timeline of their life with events in history. They copy-pasted (free and non-plagiarized) pictures from the internet, manipulated them to fit, used call-outs to label events, inserted digital pictures of themselves, and discussed major historic events with each other that had occurred throughout the ten years of their lives. Exciting both intellectually and technologically!.
