Instructor's Guides

The Instructor's Guides include complete, 36-week lesson plans and notes that integrate your children's various subjects into an exciting, unified learning experience. The Instructor's Guides weave your books and materials together into a cohesive full-year 5th grade homeschool curriculum—it's your roadmap for the entire school year!

History, Geography, Bible reading and memorization

Complete the epic adventure you started in Intro to American History, Part 1 and experience America's history from the 1850s on. Get to know heroes like Abraham Lincoln, Simon Bolivar, Eleanor Roosevelt and the Wright brothers.

Help children build a firm spiritual foundation as you share daily scripture reading and scripture memorization with the included Sing the Word! digital download. Watch their personal journey with the Lord flourish as they develop their own devotional habits. You'll use the Bible to teach your children to discover profound truths about God. Lee Strobel's Case for Kids helps your children wrestle with challenging questions such as "Why does God allow bad things to happen? Did Jesus really come back from the dead? Can I have doubts about the Bible and still be a Christian?"

Includes Sonlight's History / Bible / Literature E, Intro to American History, Year 2 of 2 .

Literature

Sonlight offers two types of literature: Read-Alouds for parents to share with their children, and Readers for children to read on their own. The Read-Alouds offer more sophisticated story lines and rich discussion points, and the Readers offer age-appropriate reading tied directly into the history content of the program.

Language Arts

This year, students learn to vary sentence length, use active voice, create authentic dialog and more. Dictation exercises provide an opportunity to recognize and imitate writing that shines. Creative expression activities such as mind mapping and letter writing keep them engaged.

All of your Fifth Grade Language Arts assignments are laid out in our Language Arts Instructor's Guide. Each lesson is scripted and includes rubrics (a simple scale so you can easily see where your child is falling on each assignment) in an easy to use format. If you've ever felt intimidated by teaching writing, fear no longer. Mechanics are explained in simple terms, and you can see realistic examples of the type of writing your children should be doing.

Includes Language Arts E .

Spelling & Vocabulary

We include Spelling You See E: American Spirit as the default spelling for your children's fifth grade year. The Instructor's Handbook contains an introduction to the philosophy behind Spelling You See and the five development stages of spelling. There are 36 lessons and with the Teacher's Guide you will be able to work through the lessons with instruction on guided reading, chunking, copywork, and dictation to improve spelling. We do offer additional spelling resources as desired. Vocabulary is included with the goal of helping your students develop excellent communication skills.

Science

The included Science E nurtures children's natural curiosity and provides daily opportunities to explore the world around them. They will use real scientific skills and practices as they explore water, our galaxy, ecology and the flow of energy in an ecosystem, and more. Science E includes a comprehensive introduction to engineering and other STEM topics. Rachel Carson is the highlighted scientist.

Sonlight's science programs have weekly experiments that tie directly to the week's reading material for a linear progression from reading to doing. The supplies you'll need are provided.

Includes Science E: Physical Science, Energy in Ecosystems, Earth and Space, and Engineering Design, 5-Day.

Math

Sonlight includes Math-U-See Epsilon, Level Up Set in the 5th Grade All-Subjects Package. Building on the foundation of basic operations with whole numbers your children have learned, Epsilon covers these same operations with fractions. Fractions are presented in an intuitive way with visual explanations of equivalent fractions, common denominators, and fractions and numbers larger than 1. Fractions and operations are illustrated using Math-U-See's proprietary Fraction Overlay manipulatives.
