Fourth Grade Writing

This year the fourth graders will be writing different genres. For example, fiction, realistic fiction, opinion and poetry to name a few. We will be focusing on the "glows and grows" of our writing. The students will get to choose various graphic organizers to help them brainstorm, draft, revise, self and peer edit, proofread and publish their papers. We will "celebrate" their stories each 9 weeks.

Fourth Grade Reading

This year the fourth graders will be interpreting characters, studying weather, learning about Texas History and historical fiction. They will get to "step" into the shoes of their characters as they read their texts, create weather reports, learn how Texas became a state and jump into historical fiction. Each nine weeks will be filled with lots of learning and "a ha" moments. Celebrations will happen throughout the nine weeks!
