Our Subjects
Reading
We use the Wonders reading program in 4th grade.
Math
In math, we will be using Go Math! We will also practice our math fluency to master multiplication and division facts.
Science, Social Studies, & Technology
As a grade level, we will be alternating our classes to get to know all of our students for these subjects. We will explore science with the Mystery Science program. We will also be doing a lot of hands on activities to help us learn through the use of experiments. We will be doing fun, hands -on social studies and technology projects as well.
Social Emotional Learning
In 4th grade, we will continue to learn a lot about ourselves. We will connect with our emotions and learn how and why we react with those around us.
We will have Second Step which is a program that helps students build social-emotional skills—like nurturing positive relationships, managing emotions, and setting goals—so they can thrive in school and in life.
We also have a guest speaker coming in to teach us Botvin LifeSkills throughout the school year. This program is a comprehensive, dynamic, and developmentally appropriate substance abuse and violence prevention program designed for upper elementary school students. It is proven to help increase self-esteem, develop healthy attitudes, and improve their knowledge of essential life skills – all of which promote healthy and positive personal development and mental health.
