Grade 5 is a bridge year at Barstow as students build skills that prepare them for success in middle school— independence, self-sufficiency and responsibility. Not only do they learn to manage at least eight teachers and subjects, they also manage their own materials, homework and time. They apply what they learn in one subject to another, using language skills to learn math vocabulary, and math skills to master science concepts. They even apply lessons from American history in music class!
Learning about great leaders and developing leadership qualities is a key component of grade 5. Through service projects, volunteer opportunities and an annual trip to Washington D.C., students develop an deeper understanding of what it means to be a good citizen.
