Fourth Grade
Welcome to Fourth Grade!
This year you will focus on increasing your reading comprehension and expressing your thoughts through expository and narrative writing. You will also work on improving your understanding of mathematical problem solving and explore scientific concepts.
Our expectations for behavior are very straight forward.
- Respect all staff, other students, and yourself.
- Be on task and ready to learn.

We will have a departmentalized schedule and you will switch between two teachers. We are looking forward to a fantastic year of learning and growing!
