These are the core
grade level expectations based on the McRel standards and benchmarks that
should be taught during fifth grade and represent what a student will
learn. They are written from the student point of view. These grade level
expectations are aligned with McRel standards and the standards-based
progress report we use. The number listed is in reference to McRel 3rd
edition; the number listed for Religion standard is in reference to "By
Their Fruits You Shall Know Them," Lorraine Ozar. Not all standards are addressed at every grade level which is
appropriate considering a student’s development. |
