Preparing for Greater Challenges in Fourth Grade

Welcome to our fourth grade classroom—a warm, encouraging environment where students are invited to explore, be curious, and expand their horizons. This year, we aim to foster both independence and a deepened understanding of God’s faithfulness and His love for each of us.

Building Faith and Responsibility

We begin the year by learning about God’s faithfulness through the Old Testament and studying the covenants He made with His people. Our discussions reinforce the value of each unique individual, created in the image of God. When mistakes happen, they’re seen as opportunities to learn about responsibility and independence, helping students grow into more confident and accountable learners.

Academic Growth and New Challenges

Our fourth graders continue to strengthen skills in core subjects:

Reading & Language Arts

Encouraging comprehension and self-expression through projects like the Poetry Project and Read-Alouds about people from diverse backgrounds.

Math & Science

Developing logical and problem-solving abilities and conducting exciting science experiments.

Social Studies

Introducing the concept of Citizenship and what it means to be American, including a special project where students report and present on the United States during Constitution.

In addition, students have weekly classes in Computer Science, Spanish, Physical Education, Art, and can participate in Beginning Band, allowing them to explore new interests and develop a broad set of skills. Broadening Perspectives Through Read-Alouds, students learn about people with diverse talents, cultures
