Fifth Grade Library Lesson Plans

     Fifth graders meet twice a week in 45 minute blocks.  The fifth grade curriculum is an extension of work done in fourth grade.  They learn, in detail, the divisions of the Dewey Decimal System.  Specific study is focused on biography and autobiography.  With the use of reference materials students learn basic research and note-taking skills. They also work through a keyboarding unit.
