Our Reading (English Language Arts) curriculum is entitled Wonders. It includes Reading, Writing, Grammar, Phonics, and Spelling. We will also be reviewing phonemic awareness to help build students' reading skills. During 4th grade, we will also complete at least two novel studies.
Science
Science: Students will be using Science Studies Weekly, science trade books and online materials for our science curriculum. Science exploration and activities will be an integral part of our Science lessons.
Social Studies
In Social Studies, we focus on studying the Regions of the United States: East, South, Midwest, and West. We also study the beginning of our nation including the branches of government on the local, state, and national levels.
Math: Our new Math curriculum for 4th grade is GO Math. New materials and online components will be introduced to students.
Religion
We learn about and practice our Catholic faith through Religion lessons, prayers in class, and by attending weekly Mass in church. 4th grade students are also able to become altar servers and sing at all-school Masses as members of our school choir.
Art
Art lessons are taught weekly, but students also use their art skills while working on other class projects.
