Welcome to 4th Grade

Class overview

4th Grade is a time of change! Each student will be more responsible for their learning and behavior. Learning to be organized, prioritizing work and taking charge of your own learning are keys to your success. In this class we learn about our complete self and focus not just on academics and technology, but social responsibility, mental health, peer interaction and being a positive part of a community. The WHOLE child! Academics will focus on the Common Core State Standards (CCSS) in 4th grade in English Language Arts (ELA) and Math. My goal for all my students is to have them have one year growth in Reading and continue to develop a strong number sense with numbers up to the millions period. In writing, students will be introduced to Narrative, Opinion and Informational genres and will practice writing text based on those genres. Students will be able to write a complete paragraph independently. Students will learn to work together toward a common goal and interact in a kind and just way. My ultimate goal is to help my students to have a love of learning and become life long learners!
