1. What Is A Curriculum Pacing Guide

These pacing guides are to serve as a guide to what you student is learning in the classroom at any point throughout the year. The pacing guides for Grade K-8 have been revised to align with the new Common Core State Standards (CCSS) for English language arts and math.

Those that have been aligned to CCSS are in a 'draft' format this academic year so our teachers and staff can add features, as well as work out any bugs that are associated with implementing the new pacing guides to Common Core. As pacing guides are revised, they will be replaced on this website. If you have any questions on the pacing guides, please feel free to contact Educational Services at 626-471-2031.

. Quick links. Fifth grade instructional programs in Palo Alto schools are committed to helping each child meet the academic and intellectual competencies expected at this grade level and become an active, engaged learner in a classroom setting. The following summary of the instructional program provides an overview of the fifth grade year.

The fifth grade program builds on the skills and knowledge children have learned in preceding years. It encourages critical thinking, creativity, and respect for self and others. The manner of instruction – motivation, grouping, pacing, reinforcing, and reteaching – is determined by each teacher as he or she works to meet individual student needs. Expectations are, of course, modified or expanded to meet a child’s needs and abilities. Curriculum standards are what all grade-level students are expected to know and be able to do by the end of a school year. Key standards of fifth grade education are highlighted below. All K-5 teachers will continue efforts to fully implement the by making strategic instructional shifts in both English Language Arts and Mathematics.

Instruction will be adjusted to best meet the needs of all students. To read the California Common Core Standards. In fifth grade, each student will. College and Career Readiness Anchor Standards for Language Arts As part of the shift to the Common Core State Standards, students will be working toward College and Career Readiness Anchor Standards (CCR) in language arts.

These anchor standards describe the skills of graduating twelfth grade students, and are all included in the specific kindergarten through fifth grade standards at the appropriate developmental level for each grade. There are ten standards for reading, ten for writing, six in the area of listening and speaking, and six in language. These standards include reading closely for deeper meaning, analyzing details, interpreting and using evidence, integrating and evaluating content from various multimedia sources, writing routinely over extended time frames for different purposes using different forms of technology (including the internet), and more. The major shifts in mathematics education for all grade levels are the Standards for Mathematical Practice. These standards are the same for kindergarten through 12th grade students. The Standards for Mathematical Practice describe varieties of expertise that mathematics educators at all levels should focus on in developing their students.

These practices rest on important “processes and proficiencies” with longstanding importance in mathematics education. The 8 Math Practice Standards emphasize the importance of students’ ability to explain and apply mathematical concepts to solve a range of complex problems. The 8 Math Practice Standards also emphasize how to precisely construct viable arguments to support their own reasoning, and critique the reasoning of others. Math Practice Standards. Make sense of problems and persevere in solving them. Reason abstractly and quantitatively.

Construct viable arguments and critique the reasoning of others. Model with mathematics. Use appropriate tools strategically.

Attend to precision. Look for and make use of structure. Look for and express regularity in repeated reasoning. In Science, PAUSD uses the Full Option Science System (FOSS) program K-5. The program features a life, earth, and physical science hands-on unit at each grade level. Teachers strive to integrate reading, writing, and math within Science.

By focusing on informational writing and non-fiction text Science aligns more closely with reading and writing. California has adopted the Next Generation Science Standards (NGSS) and PAUSD is currently exploring these new standards and how they will influence teaching and learning. Same tractors parts manual. The State of California has chosen to continue to use the Social Studies standards it adopted in 1997. The Palo Alto Unified School District will also continue to refer to and teach the 1997 social studies standards.

In the spirit of the CCSS, social studies curriculum has been encouraged to be integrated into English Language Arts curriculum and not necessarily be taught in isolation. Social Studies offers excellent opportunities for students to practice reading and writing in content areas as well as opportunities to practice the higher order thinking skills that are an essential element of the CCSS. Higher order thinking skills include synthesizing information from various sources as well as making inferences about information based on evidence. Application of knowledge is the foundation of the Common Core. Integrating social studies content into reading and writing provides an opportunity for students to apply their content knowledge of Social Studies in other contexts.
