Fourth Grade

Fourth grade students continue to develop their reading skills but spend increasing amounts of time developing their oral and written communication skills using the Collins Writing Program. Study skills, reference skills, and cursive writing are also emphasized. Many math skills, including math facts, multiplication, division, area, perimeter, volume and working with data are taught with an emphasis on problem solving and increasing reasoning skills using the newly adopted Everyday Math Program.

Land and water, the human body and nutrition, and heat-light-sound energy are studied in science and health. In social studies we do a year long unit on New Hampshire history, An environment unit will be taught by the Harris Center.
