Science and Social Studies will be taught by unit. We will focus on one subject at a time so that you have less subjects to prepare for at one time. Each unit will be 2-3 weeks long.

We will focus on current events every week using News Depth and Time for Kids.

Although there is a fourth grade supply list, know that I will be asking for materials to be donated throughout the year to defray the cost of experiments.
