Finally Fall


October was a fun month.  The fourth grade focused on the attributes of God in Bible, fractions in Math, and all types of nouns in English class, and various skills in Reading.  Social Studies brought us to Spanish California and its missions.  Soon we will be building mission projects and creating brochures in computer class.  In science we learned about magnetism and electromagnets.  Students even conducted a few experiments involving electromagnets.  This month we were also able to invite our grandparents for a Grandparents’ Day performance followed by songs, fun, and games in the classroom.

Hands-On Learning, Rallies, Science & More!


4th grade is having a blast.  I don’t know if they would rather work in reading groups, incorporate art into social studies, or work on science experiments.  For now, we’ll keep on doing all that was previously mentioned and so much more.  Students are achieving the Expected Schoolwide Learning Results through a variety of ways.  Bible study and verse memorization will equip us mature as Christians.  Students are able to use critical thinking as they predict and experiment with electromagnets.  Presenting their own personal narratives, students were able to build effective communication skills.  And every day, this class works on becoming responsible citizens as we understand more about ourselves and how to interact with those around us. 
The 4th grade truly is a great place for learning.
