Standards Based Grading

Ever wonder what Standards  Based Grading really means?  Here's an explanation.

WELCOME

Welcome!

The fourth grade teachers would like to welcome all fourth grade students and families to the new
school year. There are lots of great things in store for you and we are very excited to get the year
started! In fourth grade, students will review and build upon many of the concepts they have
learned in past years, as well as learn many new ones. A difference that students will experience in
fourth grade involves homework. Students will begin receiving nightly homework assignments in
various subject areas. This year, we will have several curriculum-related field trips that will
provide each student with a fun, educational, and meaningful experience.

Curriculum Snap-Shot:
Reading: Students will work on building reading stamina, fluency, and comprehension. They
will work on many skills, some including making connections and predictions, determining
point-of-view, and locating information in non-fiction text.

Math: Students will continue to develop their multiplication and division skills as we move
into multi-digit multiplication and long division. Students will also be exposed to deeper
fraction concepts, as well as introduced to decimals.

Writing: Students will write a variety of pieces ranging from narratives to poetry. They will
also be required to write two North Carolina content-area writing pieces throughout the
year.

Science: Students will participate in four science units throughout the year, including Earth
Materials, Magnetism and Electricity, Animal Studies, and Landforms. These kits will allow
students time to complete hands-on investigations and experiments.

Social Studies: Students will be immersed in North Carolina’s culture, people, economy, and
regions.

The fourth grade teachers are looking forward to getting to know your child and family. We know
that the school year is going to be great!

See you in August!
