Sharpen Your Study Habits with 5th Grade Life Skills

          In fifth grade life skills (Mr. Rickbeil teaches the boys), students work together to learn the skills that will assist them as they progress at Trinity, and as they progress through life itself.  Students will learn many study habits, as about half of the year is devoted to learning and applying good study habits.  In addition, the class covers the topics of bullying, nutrition, and family life as the year progresses into the spring.  All of these topics are directed at making fifth grade boys into happy, self-aware, and successful students.

Units in this class include:

  • Study skills and habits
  • Bullying prevention
  • Nutrition
  • Family Life

Highlights of this class include:

  • Several get-up-and move group challenges and activities
  • The "folder race", in which students race to get organized
  • Learning the SQ3R reading method and applying it to everyday life
  • Analyzing food choices with the MyPyramid web site
