Welcome to the Fourth Grade webpage! Fourth Grade is a great year for students as they transition from the primary grades into the intermediate level. The teachers will, in addition to stressing academic growth, work on creating a level of independence as well as developing responsibility. 

 

Academic growth is very important and is stressed in all subjects. In reading students will focus on active engagement, high levels of comprehension, and vocabulary skills. Other skills will be taught as needed. In language arts students will continue to refine their writing skills with an emphasis on adding specific detailed information, word choice and vocabulary, editing, and revising. 

 

This grade uses computers on a regular basis, and students will learn to create products using a variety of tools. A work portfolio will be kept for each student and sent home at the end of the year.

 

Social studies and science units are integrated into the curriculum throughout the year, and field trips are planned to enhance the students’ experiences.
