In fourth grade, students are beginning to transition from their primary to intermediate years and in the process, learning to be responsible and independent. Fourth graders complete nightly homework, learn to manage a planner, and begin to learn time management skills.
In Religion, students focus on learning how to be a true disciple of Jesus by living the Ten Commandments and the Beatitudes, serving our local community by volunteering at the Oregon Food Bank, and praying the rosary each week.
In Math, students extend the concepts of multiplication and division. Students multiply double digit numbers and learn how to do long division. In English Language Arts, students read novels, write for various purposes using the 6+1 Traits of Writing, learn basic grammar, and have weekly spelling tests.
In Social Studies, students learn all about our great state of Oregon and participate in the Oregon Trail Overnight. This hands-on experience allows students to live life as an early pioneer. In Science, students conduct labs to explore energy, sound, and the layers of the Earth as well as learn about the engineering design process.
