I Am Ready For 5th Grade! 5th Grade Readiness

Welcome to 5th Grade Readiness!  In this class learners will meet 3x per week to ensure they are ready for 5th grade.  This class includes writing skills, math concepts, science, geography and reading skills.  All taught material is concepts taught in 4th grade.  This is a kind of crash course review for 4th grade.  We will meet for 4 weeks so 12 total meetings.  Each meeting will cover a different concept and will all come with homework.  These aren't things that need to be done before the next class but rather sheets they can work on throughout the summer to continue going over their concepts.  

Wild and Unstructured Learning is a hands on company.  This class will have a lot of different hands on activities to reinforce their learning experience.  Here is a full breakdown of what we will go over throughout class together.
