Hawthorn Academy is following the IB program to find out more please visit the school website at http://www.hawthornacademy.org/index.html
The I.B. Program will be mainly used for an integrated approach to Social Studies and Science in our 5th grade classroom. However, all curriculum is integrated into the IB program whenever possible.
For the First 6 weeks we will be exploring how our US Government works and about how the universe works as it related to matter and energy.
In addition, as students inquire about other topics, I try to teach about it right then, or put it on a parking lot lesson in the near future. I love to answer questions right when students are interested!
5th grade is the year student do their cumulative Exhibition project. They will get a chance to take an action to make the world a better place, based on their own research and ideas!
