Welcome to fourth grade! I hope everyone enjoyed the summer with plenty of time to relax and enjoy family and friends. I also hope the students took time to read a few good books and review their math facts. I am looking forward to meeting all of you on August 24th.
This year you will become intermediate students. This means that there is more focus on respect, responsibility, and independence. There will be a separate teacher for each of the major subjects and Spanish will be added. All specials will continue.
Fourth grade focuses on getting to know God through the Commandments and the Beatitudes. We will learn about the sacraments and the importance of prayer. We will be attending Mass weekly.
We move from spelling to vocabulary which puts more emphasis on a word’s meaning than its spelling. Units take two weeks to complete with twelve words to study. Reading moves away from phonetic skills to more types of comprehension skills using a variety of texts. We will also read a few books together and complete some interesting projects.
Students will use their multiplication facts to work on greater multiplication problems, as well as division and fractions. They will learn about the various sections of the United States in Social Studies and will expand their knowledge in the areas of life, earth, and physical science.
This year is also very special in the history of our school. We are celebrating our 125th birthday and will be having special activities throughout the year. We are looking forward to a great, fun year of learning.
