My children and I applied for citizenship 5 months to expiry and so far we have one month to expiry and the process is still on progress, do we need to apply for Green card renewal as we wait to avoid falling off status?

You do not need to apply for extension of the green card status as your status does not expire; only the card does.

As long as you submitted your N-400 application while your green card was still valid for at least 6 months, you will not be required to renew the green card while your citizenship application is still pending.

Unless you believe that you will not be granted naturalization based on exclusionary grounds, there is no need to apply for extension.

You will not fall out of status. Do not worry.
