Re: 4th/5th grade split
Posted by Jessica on 9/08/07

    I teach social studies and science together. For science we use Foss Kits, which are
    considered 3/4 so they work for me... the next kit up is 5/6. If you use something
    like that, maybe alternate the kits. If you have text books, alternate the units if you
    have to. You can also integrate science into writing and the kids can write reports on
    topics relating to science. For example, if you are doing a 4th grade unit, the 5th
    graders will have xyz extra to do for their reports to cover the standards not met in
    the 4th grade unit.

    For social studies, I teach in units and we do it as a whole class. I can teach ss
    however I want though-- no text book, so this works for me. If you can't do that,
    alternate units, or try to integrate ss into reading (which I do as well.)
