What to Expect in Grade 4
Grade 4 is an exciting year filled with new discoveries, challenges, and opportunities for growth. Our passionate teachers create a dynamic and supportive classroom environment where students feel encouraged to explore their interests, ask questions, and take ownership of their learning. Here's a glimpse of what your child can expect in Grade 4:
- Literacy: Building upon foundational skills, students will enhance their reading comprehension, writing fluency, and critical thinking abilities through engaging literature, writing projects, and literacy activities.
- Numeracy: Math concepts come alive as students delve into addition, subtraction, multiplication, division, fractions, decimals, geometry, and problem-solving in interactive and hands-on ways.
- Science: From exploring the properties of matter to investigating energy and ecosystems, students will engage in hands-on experiments and scientific inquiry, fostering curiosity and experimentation.
- Social Studies: Through stories, discussions, and projects, students will delve into Alberta's history, geography, economy, and government, gaining a deeper understanding of our province and its place in the world.
- Arts and Physical Education: Creative expression and physical activity are integrated into the curriculum through art projects, music, drama, movement, and physical education classes, allowing students to explore their talents and develop healthy habits.
