English Language Arts & Literacy Common Core Standards

Within fourth grade, students are in the academic stage of reading to learn. We will work on a range of literary skills that will have them look more closely at text through deeper analysis. This work will be supported through strategy based common core aligned reading strategies including annotating, close reading, note taking, and more.

One of our first read alouds will be Pax by Sara Pennypacker. In reading this book, we will be participating in the Global Read Aloud Project and will be connecting with other classes to be able to share our reading experience. Through the year, we will also read Esperanza Rising and Bridge to Terabithia.
