Map Tests become more challenging in the 5th grade. The schedule is as follows:
September - Continents
October - North America
November - South America
December - Canada
January - Europe
February - Africa
March - Asia
April - USA
The information that is expected for fifth graders to know increases tremendously from previous years. There are some map tests where I have broken the test down into smaller sections so that students can focus on fewer items at a time. The schedule for the tests will be given to the students and it will come home in the weekly newsletters. We review each map in class once, but it is up to the students to study them each night.
