Welcome!
Hello and welcome! 4th grade is so much fun, and we are going to have a great year!
In language arts, we will enjoy reading novels and nonfiction that will inspire our own writing and creativity. In math, we will expand our knowledge of place value and fractions, and decimals will be introduced. We will build fluency with the four operations and continue to learn concepts related to geometry and measurement. Students love our Iditarod unit of study, and will also enjoy learning about these topics in social studies and science: New Hampshire history, branches of government, regions of the United States, national parks, weathering, plants and animals, and forces of energy.
In addition to content-area teaching, and making meaning with hands-on activities, nurturing individual gifts and talents is a priority of mine. I strive to create a kind and respectful classroom community and look forward to welcoming you to our class.
