All the Academics Already!


The first month has been filled with review and the challenge of adjusting to the fourth grade.  Students have already covered rounding, counting money, estimation, and decimals in math.  They have diagramed sentences and identified subjects and predicates.  Reading has been a lot of fun and our class is currently reading a play with assigned characters just to spice things up a bit. Through our Bible studies we have learned how fulfilled prophecy, historical events, and archeology proves the truth of the Bible.  In social studies we have learned all about the geography of our state and students even used the state shape for creative artwork.  Students were able to experiment with balloons to help them understand static electricity and electrical currents.  This class is learning and having fun while doing so.  We’re off to a great start!
