The 5th Grade Experience
Growing Toward Responsibility
The fifth grade is a year when students have reached new levels of physical strength and agility, have developed longer attention spans, and are developing intellectually with greater abilities to see relationships, organize thought and material, and form conclusions. At the same time, they may be beginning to experience the pre-adolescent growth spurt, which brings with it more emotional turbulence. More than ever before, the student of this age is capable of reasoning about right and wrong, grasping some of the deeper aspects of the Christian faith, and moving toward greater personal responsibility in all aspects of life.
