Science Office Hours: Thursday 7:45-8:10am
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 28.
This year you will become intermediate students. This means that there is more focus on respect, responsibility, and independence. This year you will be switching between two teachers for major subjects. All specials will continue. We will continue weekly mass beginning our Wednesdays with God.
Fourth grade focuses on getting to know God through prayer, scripture, and service. We move from spelling to vocabulary which puts more emphasis on a word’s meaning than its spelling. 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. We will continue to study nouns and verbs while improving our writing skills. Students will soon be writing all assignments in cursive. All in all, we are looking forward to a great year of learning, having fun, and strengthening friendships.
