Fourth Grade
Fourth Grade
Daily Schedule and Information
8:00 – 9:30 Reading / Spelling
The students will be reading a variety of books this year. We will read stories from our literature books, short stories, and novels. Our topics include tall tales, adventure, historical fiction, mysteries, biographies, and non-fiction selections. We will discuss the reading and complete written work about the stories and books. Our reading series has several interesting units for fourth grade. We will help the students use phonics and word structure strategies to sound out words, and we will teach the students to use comprehension strategies to better understand and comprehend the reading.
Spelling lists will contain words that are used frequently in writing and lists that help the students learn spelling patterns, word structure, and rules. The children will be tested on the high frequency words they learned last year and will continue to learn this year. Our goal is for the students to learn the words and then spell the words correctly in daily writing. A new spelling list will be sent home each Monday. We take our weekly spelling tests on Friday. Your child’s spelling grade will be based on the weekly test and daily written assignments.
9:30 – 10:15 Bronco Time
This year intervention time has been changed to Bronco Time. We have placed this time before or after your child’s Special’s time (music, art, P.E. and computers). During Bronco Time the students will be receiving interventions for reading and math, some will be working on their reading skills using the program “Reading Counts”, and we will include some research activities, math and reading activities too. The teachers will be working with our para’s to ensure that the activities are meeting the needs of our students.
10:15 – 11:00 Art, Computer Lab, Music, P.E.
The children attend Art, Computer Lab, Music, and P.E. on a rotation schedule.
11:00 – 11:55 Writing / Language Arts
During writing the students will be asked to write about assigned topics as well as topics they choose. We will develop writing skills based on our new program, “Writing Alive”. We will work on proofreading skills and how to use correct grammar, punctuation, and capitalization.
11:55 – 12:40 Recess and Lunch
The children will go to lunch from 11:55 – 12:20. Recess will follow from 12:20 – 12:40.
12:40 – 1:50 Math
In math this year students will practice multiplication and division to solve problems. We will continue to review addition and subtraction. It is important that the students study and learn math facts. Knowing the facts increases their ability to solve problems quickly. The math units we will study include: Place Value and Numeration, Graphing, Probability, Geometry, Measurement, Fractions, Decimals, Patterns, Multiplication, and Division. Problem Solving is an important skill, which will be taught in each unit.
1:50 – 2:05 Recess
2:05 – 2:45 Social Studies and Science
We have new and exciting units in Social Studies and Science. The children will have the opportunity to have each fourth grade teacher for a social studies and science unit. Students will study the following:
Mrs. Adams Colorado History
Magnets and Electricity
Mrs. Gilliland Geography of Colorado
The Solar System
Mrs. Ehardt Colorado Government and Symbols
Prehistoric Colorado/Fossil Record
Mrs. Koschel Native Americans of Colorado
Health and Nutrition
We have several guest speakers and activities planned which will enrich our study of social studies and science.
2:45 – 3:00 Homework / Clean Up / Dismissal
