NYS Grade 5 Social Studies Assessment Resources: This website was originally created at a two-day workshop sponsored by the Dutchess County BOCES Instructional Services and Model Schools programs. The resources on this webpage were compiled by a group of K-5 teachers from Dutchess County schools in the summer of 2000. See the newly added resources for 5th grade teachers created by the DCBOCES Summer 2001 Grade 5 Workgroup.
