FOURTH GRADE
The curriculum for 4th grade is rich in content and meaningful to students. The projects in each subject area are related across the curriculum so that students make connections within all areas of learning. By the time students leave the 4th grade, they will have developed the skills to assess mathematical problems using exploration, reasoning, drawing inferences, and employing a variety of mathematical methods. Students will understand the importance of heritage, community, and the diversity around them. Students will also develop strong research skills through a variety of engaging projects in the classroom and at home.
WHAT WE DO IN FOURTH GRADE
Language Arts: Fourth graders grow as readers by exploring novels that help them practice comprehension strategies, figurative language, and character analysis. They also become stronger writers through poetry, stories, persuasive pieces, and creative projects—moving from simple paragraphs to polished essays and stories. We use a combination of novel studies, Sadlier Vocabulary and Grammar Workshops, and Fountas & Pinnell to create a well-rounded language arts program.
​
Math: With Math in Focus, students learn both the “why” and “how” of math. They practice problem-solving, explaining their thinking, and applying math skills to everyday life.
​
Social Studies: Students study U.S. geography, regions, culture, and economy. They also explore heritage, immigration, and current events, while learning what it means to be responsible citizens at school and in their communities.
