Fifth Grade Highlights

If I Were A Colonist

After learning about the 13 original colonies, fifth graders walked in the shoes of actual colonists to determine how they would feel about some current events of their time period. They read brief biographies and then discussed whether their colonist would agree with big issues like religious freedom, whether Native Americans could keep their land, whether only rich male landowners could vote, and whether slavery and indentured servants were allowed. It was interesting to see how our country’s mindset has evolved over the centuries.

Shapes and Numbers

Through various math lessons, fifth graders found out that sometimes math includes shapes and sometimes numbers. Each type of math tapped into different parts of their brains as they learned about graphing and geometry…and a whole lot about themselves as mathematicians!

Argument and Advocacy

Fifth graders learned the art of debate during the Argument & Advocacy Language Arts unit when they weighed the pros and cons of having chocolate milk as part of school lunches. Are the nutrients worth the sugar? Does the popular taste make it all worthwhile? Only fifth graders get to decide!

Playground Revitalization Campaign

This year, spurred by the addition of full-day Kindergarten, a small committee began discussing how we could improve our playground as it lacks enough developmentally appropriate options for younger children. The conversation evolved into how we could potentially revitalize the entire SH playground experience through upgraded equipment for all ages, encouraging exploration and imaginative play, and better utilizing the blacktop as a safe play space. However, playgrounds are not funded by the state but rather partially through teacher-requested grants or more likely – Home & School associations. Therefore, in order to fund such a significant project, we will need to add fundraisers in addition to our annual Race for Education. The Race for Education has always been a wonderful and effective fundraiser as it funds ALL of our numerous activities, assemblies, field trips and so much more. Home & School could not function without it. Additional fundraisers would not replace the Race for Education, but specifically raise money for the Playground Revitalization Campaign.



Our expectation is that the playground will be a 3-5 year project, with the potential to make certain enhancements each year. This year will focus on Phase 1 (small scale, big impact) -- addressing some immediate needs and creating a better play space on the blacktop. This is a new and evolving endeavor that we hope will benefit children for years to come. Please feel free to email your ideas, questions or concerns to board@salfordhillshsa.org. Thank you for your support!

Next up: May 2nd 4-8pm at Chipotle in Souderton
