Hello 5th Graders!
I've always wanted to start a blog, but was never really sure where to start. I guess this is it. I'll start by explaining the Houghton Mifflin Harcourt curriculum. The middle school teachers wanted to adopt a new curriculum when the Next Generation Standards came out and South Dakota adopted new science standards as well. The textbook and online curriculum have a lot of neat experiments and lots of reading (research). I think it is a good way to start the year, especially since the other grades will use this curriculum too. After this 1st unit, I would like to get back to some of my favorite lessons and units.
