Fourth Grade

Students in the Fourth Grade are invited to participate in discussion. They are encouraged to engage in reflection and inquiry throughout reading discussion in all disciplines. Developing reading fluency, vocabulary, and text comprehension are critical at this grade level. Students learn skill and strategies to help develop these areas and utilize them through the reading and writing process.
A variety of books related to students' interests and needs are available in our reading corner. These books expose our students to the different functions of numerous types of printed material.

Now that students have mastered the mathematical skills learned in earlier years, they are ready to utilize such skills in a more complex manner. Students develop algebraic concepts and thinking, collect and organize data, work with fractions and probability, and are able to work out long divisions and multiplications. In every Math lesson, the critical area of problem solving is reinforced.
