Reading continues since the interpretation of the written word is what poses the most problem for these adolescent students. Literature in the form of poetry, fiction, nonfiction, and science-fiction are used. In the course of three years, students are exposed to physical, earth and biological worlds of science. Field trips, projects, lab experiments and classroom lectures provide a rich learning environment. The Departmental System begins with Grade 3.
Students change classes.
Reading is continued as a subject with emphasis on interpretation and application of reading. Penmanship is taught to maintain accuracy with cursive writing and neatness in presentation of work. Students are expected to master the form and content of letter writing. Papers of two or three paragraphs are expected by the end of Grade 5 as Explanatory and Descriptive Writing is developed. Daily math drills in computation take place.
