Art, music, tech and more!
Specials are the classes that round out the week: art, music, physical education, technology and STEAM. Fifth graders study famous artists and styles, learn about instruments and how music is made, build fitness habits, and use technology to research and present ideas. They also tackle hands-on STEAM challenges where they test, measure and explain results. The click moment comes when a student uses something from art or tech class to make a math or reading project even better.
Fifth graders want real challenges and a little independence. These moves give them both in every special.
Show a painter card and ask students to describe the artist's style in three words. Then they create a piece in that style. Studying real art gives fifth graders the vocabulary to talk about their own choices.
Why it works: pairing a picture with each word gives kids two ways to remember it, a well-tested principle of how people learn (Mayer, 2009).

Why it works: going from real objects to pictures to symbols is a core recommendation of the U.S. Department of Education's elementary math guide.

Specials are classes outside the core subjects, usually art, music, physical education, technology or library, and sometimes STEAM or world language.
In art they explore famous artists, styles and techniques like shading and perspective. In music they learn rhythm, notes, instruments and performance.
Ask specials teachers what they're working on and tie it in, like studying an artist's era in social studies or using music to practice fractions with note values.
They build creativity, teamwork, fitness and tech skills, and they give kids who shine outside core subjects a chance to lead.
