5th Grade

Fifth grade at KCS is an important year for growing.  Our students are growing up and starting middle school.  There are many “firsts” during this year:

• First year to switch classes each day
• First year to participate in school sports
• First year to participate in band, choir, and drama

Students are also entering a critical time when peer influence and relationships are very important.  Walking through this time with our students and their parents is a top priority.  KCS strives to help students take on healthy and assertive roles in their peer relationships.

Academically, it is a transition from the self-contained classroom to a team of three core subject teachers.  This experience prepares them for upper middle school where each subject has a different teacher. 

Spiritually, students are taking beginning steps to make their faith personal through serving opportunities and the development of a Christian worldview.
