Fourth Grade
Fourth grade has been known as a transitional year for many reasons. It is the first year students receive percentile grades, have more than one teacher, and are eligible to participate in band.
Students are in school from 8:25 a.m. to 3:15 p.m. daily. The basis of the curriculum consists of: religion, reading/language arts, math, science, social studies, music, physical education, and art.

Welcome 2012! It was so good to see the student's faces today! Although they looked a tad tired, we agreed it was nice to be reunited and in a routine again!
Before break, we began our Science unit on Plants. We will be exploring different kinds of seeds and how plants reproduce.
We had a "mock trial" in Social Studies. We had opposing teams trying to pursuade the "jury of peers" on issues such as the benefit/disservice to St. Charles having a vending machine...it was very fun and helped the students understand how laws are made and decisions are reached, once they make it to a higher court.
We will be planning our State Capitol trip and maple syrup trip in the next few weeks, so look out for information!
We have begun exploring the Bible and looking up passages where God speaks to others. As always, we are learning to Choose Christ daily!
As always, thank you for your support in learning!
