Since over half of English words are derived from Greek or Latin roots, fourth graders will be introduced to the meaning and spelling of words with a new root each week.

Students will be working through a 40 book challenge throughout the year that encourages students to explore different genres and authors. Two to three times a week, we will do a \u201cStatus of the Class\u201d check-in and\/or individual book interviews, in which students will share what they are currently reading, and how far they are into the book. Not only does this help students make book recommendations and share books they enjoy, it helps determine if the book they are reading is a good fit or not. Written reading responses are completed regularly.<\/span><\/p>\n<\/li>\n<li style=\"list-style-type: disc;font-size: 11pt;font-family: Bitter,serif;color: #000000;background-color: transparent;font-weight: 400;font-style: normal;font-variant: normal;text-decoration: none;vertical-align: baseline\">\n<p dir=\"ltr\" style=\"line-height: 1.38;margin-top: 0pt;margin-bottom: 0pt\" role=\"presentation\"><span style=\"font-size: 11pt;font-family: Bitter,serif;color: #000000;background-color: transparent;font-weight: 400;font-style: normal;font-variant: normal;text-decoration: none;vertical-align: baseline\">In connection with science and social studies units each trimester, students will be introduced to a root each week to build their understanding of Greek and Latin root words, and a vocabulary word to learn how to decipher unknown words using context clues.<\/span><\/p>\n<\/li>\n<li style=\"list-style-type: disc;font-size: 11pt;font-family: Bitter,serif;color: #000000;background-color: transparent;font-weight: 400;font-style: normal;font-variant: normal;text-decoration: none;vertical-align: baseline\">\n<p dir=\"ltr\" style=\"line-height: 1.38;margin-top: 0pt;margin-bottom: 0pt\" role=\"presentation\"><span style=\"font-size: 11pt;font-family: Bitter,serif;color: #000000;background-color: transparent;font-weight: 400;font-style: normal;font-variant: normal;text-decoration: none;vertical-align: baseline\">A weekly list of spelling words pertaining to a specific spelling pattern will be provided each week.

Working with numbers into the billions, students broaden their understanding of number theory, place value, rounding, and estimation. Students evaluate expressions using positive and negative integers, applying order of operations, and solving for variables. Computational skills are furthered through instruction and practice in adding, subtracting, multiplying and dividing whole numbers, decimals, and fractions. Conceptual understanding and automatic recall are both emphasized as students solve multi-digit multiplication and division problems.&nbsp; Further work with fractions, decimals, and percents will be integrated in the study of economics as students use mathematical knowledge in practical application.&nbsp; Through geometry and measurement, students identify and measure properties of figures, determine perimeter, area, capacity, surface, and volume, and explore coordinate grid systems.

Daily math instruction is implemented through whole-class mini-lessons followed by small group instruction and independent practice.

Different strategies are encouraged and respected, as we are all different learners.

Between January and April, students will work through the Scientific Method to choose a scientific problem, create a hypothesis, create a list of materials, develop a step-by-step procedure, and conduct three experiments to test their hypothesis. Projects will be completed for judging at The Summit Science Fair, and will be on display at Grandparents Day.<\/span><\/p>\n<\/li>\n<li style=\"list-style-type: disc;font-size: 11pt;font-family: Bitter,serif;color: #000000;background-color: transparent;font-weight: 400;font-style: normal;font-variant: normal;text-decoration: none;vertical-align: baseline\">\n<p dir=\"ltr\" style=\"line-height: 1.2;margin-top: 0pt;margin-bottom: 0pt\" role=\"presentation\"><span style=\"font-size: 11pt;font-family: Bitter,serif;color: #000000;background-color: transparent;font-weight: 400;font-style: normal;font-variant: normal;text-decoration: none;vertical-align: baseline\">Once a week, fourth graders will participate in STEM class.<\/span><\/p>\n<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p dir=\"ltr\" style=\"line-height: 1.38;margin-top: 0pt;margin-bottom: 0pt\"><span style=\"font-size: 11pt;font-family: Bitter,serif;color: #000000;background-color: transparent;font-weight: bold;font-style: normal;font-variant: normal;text-decoration: underline;vertical-align: baseline\">Tentative Field Trips<\/span><\/p>\n<p dir=\"ltr\" style=\"line-height: 1.2;margin-top: 0pt;margin-bottom: 0pt\"><span style=\"font-size: 11pt;font-family: Bitter,serif;color: #000000;background-color: transparent;font-weight: 400;font-style: normal;font-variant: normal;text-decoration: none;vertical-align: baseline\">When and if it becomes safe to participate in field trips, The Summit will inform the community.

They will be expected to have their laptop charged and ready for each school day. As a school, we utilize the word processing and presentation applications of the Google Suite. Keyboarding skills are emphasized for students to type quickly, accurately, and with correct technique. Multiple online programs allow parents to keep track of student progress, such as iXL and Epic Reading.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><\/p>\n<p dir=\"ltr\" style=\"line-height: 1.38;margin-top: 0pt;margin-bottom: 0pt\"><span style=\"font-size: 11pt;font-family: Bitter,serif;color: #000000;background-color: transparent;font-weight: bold;font-style: normal;font-variant: normal;text-decoration: underline;vertical-align: baseline\">Character Education<\/span><\/p>\n<p dir=\"ltr\" style=\"line-height: 1.38;margin-top: 0pt;margin-bottom: 0pt\"><span style=\"font-size: 11pt;font-family: Bitter,serif;color: #000000;background-color: transparent;font-weight: 400;font-style: normal;font-variant: normal;text-decoration: none;vertical-align: baseline\">Character Education is integrated into a variety of classroom interactions, reinforcing the Summit philosophy of valuing and respecting each individual. We will use our Morning Meeting times to build on different components of Character Education, focusing on topics such as Growth Mindset, Integrity, Intrinsic Motivation, Compassion, and Kindness.&nbsp;<\/span><\/p>\n<p><\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>4th Grade Classroom Logistics Classroom Information Blog: www.thesummitprep.org\/4th Remind App for classroom communication Send a text to 81010 with this message: @f44hak You&#8217;re in!
