Fourth Grade Curriculum
ELA
This fall we will be working through our first few units, including: Reader's Workshop, Literary Genres, Character Development with a novel study of The Tiger Rising, and Biographies.
Students will learn the way our reading block will run, the various types of texts, how characters change throughout a text, and how to dissect a text about a real-life person.
We will work on getting students into "just right" books - books that are not too hard and not too easy!
Math
This fall we will begin working through place value concepts, multi-digit addition and subtraction, rounding, multiplicative comparisons, and multi-digit multiplication.
Science/Social Studies
This fall students will learn about the regions and symbols of North Carolina, the people groups that once inhabited our land, and the first explorers and settlers. Students will also be given their first project: The North Carolina Symbols Project, due September 20.
In science students will begin learning about rocks and minerals, fossils, electricity, and magnetism. Our trip to Reed Gold Mine will highlight our study of rocks and minerals, whereas our Discovery Place field trip will engage students with the concepts of electricity, magnetism, and forces.
