Fourth Grade

Reader's Workshop: 

Fountas and Pinnell Literacy Continuum is the literacy curriculum we use to help our students learn reading strategies to become better readers. Reader's Workshop begins with a 10 minute whole group mini lesson focusing on a reading strategy followed by an activity on the focus and 30 minutes of independent reading, along with guided reading group work.

Writer's Workshop: 

This is our first year implementing the writing curriculum “Step Up to Writing”. We are excited to build on the students existing foundational writing skills. There is a whole group mini lesson followed by an independent writing time.  Students will be writing everyday to build stamina.

Phonics: 

We are using the FIRE curriculum to focus on grammar, spelling, and morphology.

Math: 

This is the second year our district is using HMH Math.  Our math block consists of a math mini lesson focused on a skill, then a whole group implementation of the skill.  Math closes with differentiated small group instruction which incorporates a technology component called Waggle. It is a program that meets the individual needs of the students.

Social Studies and Science: These subjects are integrated into our daily PYP units of study.
