WELCOME 4TH GRADE STUDENTS
Dear 4th Grade Scholars,
Hello and welcome to 4th grade! We are looking forward to a very productive,
creative, and exciting new school year! With the help your parents, we will
help you reach new heights. You are great and nothing can stop you! You will
succeed by working hard each day and giving your best effort. You will earn
super grades and excel. You can do it! Set realistic goals with due dates and
work hard to achieve them. Your parents and I will help. Choose to be
respectful, courteous, and friendly because each of you deserves this.
School is demanding, but we can work together and solve the hardest of
challenges by working together. Division, fractions, decimals, and
multiplication by double and triple-digits will be magical when you learn the
secrets and become a Math- Magician! In Science, we’ll explore the solar
system, rain forests, and oceans. We will watch an erupting volcano and an
earthquake model in class too! You will use the NASA website and sing some
catchy songs to assist your learning. For Social Studies, the class will
make a United States Jello map to see and then eat. YUMMY! In Language Arts,
we will read and examine some great literature like James and the Giant Peach
and Indian in the Cupboard. We will also focus on becoming more creative in
our Writing Skills too. We’ll play Spelling Sparkle, Bingo, Class Jeopardy,
and Wheel of Fortune this year; to name a few. We’ll meditate, pray, tell
Bible stories, and learn miraculous things about Jesus’ life. Most
importantly, we will model our daily behavior by Jesus’ life. We will
encourage and assist our fellow classmates and lead by example.

species and other state's species in their environments. This was hands-on,
fun learning! Grades 3 & 4 students participated in related lessons on Nov.
