All  fifth grade teachers are very excited about the rich Core Knowledge® curriculum which includes: The Civil War, Renaissance, Westward Movement, Classifying Living Things, Chemistry, Early Russia, Feudal Japan, Explorers and many other topics. CORE subjects are presented in a clear and concise manner, which enables students to easily grasp areas that may have been beyond their understanding otherwise. Our focus is to prepare students for the AIMS and SAT-9 Testing by following the enriched math and reading curriculum. We are eager to continue our enthusiasm for learning through our many stimulating and thought provoking activities here at Grayhawk Elementary School.
