Fourth Grade is a big transition from the primary grades. Students have a longer school day; are reading to learn; adjusting to the new demands of the upper grades; and learning time management, study and organizational skills. Furthermore, upper grade classrooms have more students in their classrooms. Accountability and personal responsibility are also key elements that come into play when students become upper graders.
