| | Fifth Grade |
 | | While the 5th grade curriculum creates more responsibilities and challenges for the students, these changes are designed to develop the students and prepare them for the demands of the 6th, 7th, and 8th grades at Country Day School of Arlington. |
 | | In the fifth grade the focus of foreign language shifts from a “special” subject to an academic one, which means that students are given a letter grade that is included in their overall academic profile. |
 | | Fifth grade students are offered activities involving recorder performance in an ensemble setting, vocal harmony, music theory, music appreciation, music history, composers past and present, instruments of the orchestra, instrument making, the basic elements of music, composition, dance, music vocabulary, and learning opportunities in creative performance and movement through the Orff-Schulwerk method. |
