Hello all! I’m moving to 5th after a long time in lower ele and preschool.

Any tried and true resources try for upper elementary ? Specifically science/ social studies? Any upper TPT teachers I should be checking out ?

Also what are some good texts to have in my library for 5th graders who are reading at a grade 4 level and higher?

Thanks for any tips!

I follow the Science Penguin on TPT. She has tons of lessons and resources for science.

Welcome to 5th grade!

Look for Mr. Nussbaum through Google and TPT for history, he's got a wealth of things out there. I mostly just use our textbooks, so I'm not to familiar with the TPTers.
Here is a list of books that my 5th graders have loved: (I think you meant in general, and not just history/science books.)
-Hatchet
-Bud, Not Buddy
-Shadow Children series (Among the Hidden is the first one)
-Gregor the Overlander series
-Flying Solo
-Frindle, and most books by Clements
-Percy Jackson series
-Who Was series
-I Survived series
-Diary of a Wimpy Kid series
-Dog Man series
(You can find a lot of these books at a good price through FirstBook Marketplace. You have to sign up, but it's worth it!)
Just a few off the top of my head.

Hope it helps!
