Social Studies: -The majority of social studies will be based on learning about our home state, Wisconsin. We will discuss Wisconsin history as well as current events that are happening. We will also tie in a new social studies curriculum that teaches beyond Wisconsin History. This curriculum is entirely online and is very hands on.

Word Study: The curriculum we use for Word Study is called "Sitton". At the beginning of the year, all students will take the same placement spelling test. This allows the teachers to look over those tests and place students in the appropriate spelling program. Students are then tested two more times throughout the year to reevaluate which spelling program they need to be placed in.
