5th Grade Social Studies
Mr. Robert K. Wright, Instructor
Welcome to 5th Grade Social Studies
The State of Louisiana has prepared an excellent curriculum for you and I have formatted it with a unique theme this year "Follow the Money". The topic of money gets everyone excited and engaged. We will focus on the idea that every major event in history had money at its core. We will also focus on some of the individuals in our society who have succeeded like Oprah Winfrey, Robert F. Smith, Madam C.J. Walker, and Michael Jordan. Each day you will recite "If I'm not willing to learn, no one can help me. If I'm determined to learn, no one can stop me." It is our mission to educate you to your ever increasing maximum academic and social level.
