The 4th Grade experience is one of excitement, wonder, and noticeable advancement. There is an even greater focus on experiential learning and hands-on, cross-curricular units. Students do a deep dive into projects focusing on history, heritage, and the environment. The teaching team, along with their students, builds a community in which everyone treats each other with kindness and respect. This pivotal year marks when students begin to recognize their academic strengths and individual learning styles. Students are encouraged and supported to become self-advocates for their learning.
