Grade 4

Welcome to Grade 4

We encourage OPEN lines of communication to make this a successful year academically, socially, and emotionally for your child.

In English Language Arts, your child will participate in a Reader's and Writer's Workshop model. In Math, your child will be primarily using the EnVision Math series based on a 90 minute Mathematics Instructional Block. Additionally, your child will engage in Science and Social Studies lessons throughout the year. Finally, every fourth grader will receive Physical Education twice a week (45 minutes/class), Music once a week (40 minutes/class) for one half of the year and then Art once a week (40 minutes/class) for the other half of the year, and Technology once a week (60 minutes/class).

Fourth graders also have the option to participate in BAND. Band meets once a week before school and once a week during school. Fourth graders also have the option to participate in CHORUS. Chorus meets once a week before school. Both BAND and CHORUS perform for the school twice a year.

Please contact your child's classroom teacher at any time with questions and/or concerns.
