St. Joseph 5th Grade
Fifth Grade Programs and Highlights at St. Joseph School
Fifth grade is an important year academically, socially, and developmentally. At St. Joseph School we have spent years refining a well balanced program that enables students to grow academically while having ample opportunities to experience .
Camp
As part of the fifth grade science curriculum, the fifth grade community attends Camp Seymour on the Key Peninsula at the end of October. The goal of this experience is to reinforce learning through hands on experience and foster a stewardship of all God's creation.
First Grade Buddies
Fifth grade loves to connect with our first grade buddies. Throughout the year, fifth and first graders meet to celebrate and learn together.
Service Learning
An integral part of our religion curriculum is fostering a love of service. The fifth grade community is connected to Water 1st International, an organization that works to provide sustainable clean water in developing countries. Throughout the year the fifth graders conduct fundraisers - the most successful being an otter pop sale in May. Last year, we raised over $1500 for this important cause.
