At this age children are fomenting their own interests;
they tend to fixate on topics of interest.

These topics are used to further explore their daily studies.
Reading novels in an important part of this group, students are encouraged to read for fun and are guided in reading novels as a class.

This stage is also paramount in the foundations in math.
Students command addition, subtraction, multiplication, and
division and are now ready to explore geometry, algebra and fractions.

This is also a time of emotional and physical changes; children are
encouraged to express themselves and learn to be better members of
the community.
