Welcome to our Class

Dear Future Fourth Grade Parents,

I am so excited about meeting my new class of students in the fall! Fourth grade holds so much in store for them: an entire year of Virginia Studies to learn about the history and geography of our state, multi-digit multiplication, and long division, coding with Lego eV3 robots and Minecraft EDU,  and a variety of PBL projects.

The fourth-grade math curriculum is fairly extensive. There is a lot of material that is covered at a fairly quick pace. To make sure that your child is well prepared, please practice multiplication and division facts with your child this summer. Ideally, the students should know all math facts up to the 12s table, and be able to recite the answers at a quick pace.

Please have your child read regularly, preferably 20 minutes a day, to avoid the summer slide.  

Now that you officially have a 4th grader, you can take advantage of the Every Kid in a Park, which allows 4th graders and their families free entry into every National Park. Check out the details on the National Park webpage. https://www.everykidinapark.gov/ 

Have a wonderful summer! See everyone in August!
