• Grammar & Mechanics: Progressive command of English grammar, abstract nouns, advanced verb tenses, prefixes/suffixes, and sentence structure.
• Writing & Conventions: Opinion writing, introductory research skills, phonetic/conventional spelling, and comprehensive editing/revision milestones.

🔢 2. Mathematics

• Operations & Algebraic Thinking: Addition and subtraction word problems, multi-number addition, fact families, mental math strategies, and single-digit multiplication/division foundations.
• Base Ten & Fractions: Place value up to 9,999, number modeling, 3-digit regrouping, and introductory to advanced number line fractions.
• Measurement & Data: Order and weight, elapsed time (analog and digital), currency values up to $5.00, and data interpretation using charts, pictographs, and bar graphs.
• Geometry: Definitions, attributes, 2-D/3-D shape comparisons, angles, and lines of symmetry.

🔬 3. Science Concepts

• General Inquiry: Scientific questioning, data collection, making predictions, and experimental conclusions.
• Physical Science: Light and sound waves, properties of matter, shifting states of matter (melting, evaporation), forces, motion, and basic energy transformations.
• Life Science: Plant/animal survival needs, anatomical structures, sequential life cycles, environmental traits, and ecosystem diversity.
• Earth & Space: Earth’s rotation/revolution, seasonal daylight variations, world climates, weather systems, fossils, and the phases of the moon.

🗺️ 4. Social Studies

• Chronology & History: Personal/family timelines, community heritage changes over time, and analysis of diverse historical sources (artifacts, letters, maps).
• Geography: Advanced map-reading skills (community, state, nation, world), landforms, directions, and how environmental factors impact human settlement.
• Citizenship & Government: Introduction to rules, democratic principles, basic structures of local/national government, and comparing global leadership systems.
