Welcome to 4th Grade!

We hope that all of our students and their parents are looking forward to a wonderful school year.  We are certainly looking forward to an exciting year together!

On our 4th grade website, we will provide an overview of what our classes are learning and discussing, upcoming events, and reminders.  You will also find various websites on the right side under Resources for our monthly Scholastic book orders, to practice math facts and spelling words, assist in picking out "just right" books, and reinforce other content areas!

In an effort to assist your child at home with the fourth grade math curriculum, we have a link to the Engage NY website under Resources on the right-hand side of our homepage.  On the Engage NY website there is a series of materials and guides to help families navigate the Common Core Standards.

We also wanted to let you all know about another wonderful resource we have included on our website!  It is a link that will take you to Khan Academy.  Khan Academy provides students and families with practice exercises, instructional videos, and a dashboard that personalizes learning at an individual student's level.  This website is free to utilize by setting up an account and has a variety of content areas specific to fourth grade (as well as other grade levels for siblings kindergarten through high school and college!).  We are especially recommending Khan Academy for math because it identifies strengths and any learning gaps to specialize content for your child.  To visit Khan Academy and set up a free account to use at home please visit https://www.khanacademy.org/math/cc-fourth-grade-math.  Have fun!

Enjoy our website!
