4th Grade Full Homeschool Curriculum Learning Pod: Part III

Classes will be held Monday-Thursday each week with chances for individual help with Miss Erika before or after each class.
Looking for a learning pod? Come join our learning pod. Students will be able to work with the same group of students and teacher throughout 2021-2022 school year. 

In this part two full class, students will receive all the necessary tools to be successful in fourth grade. This class will cover everything fourth grade, such as, Math, Reading, Science, and Social Studies. My goal is to ensure that learning is fun and successful to every learner enrolled. We will have learning their music, dancing, and chanting. 

The cost of the class is for a full year 4th grade learning experience. Students will have access to Zearn and IXL as learning interventions. Zearn Math is a complete math program that provides Common Core aligned math lessons, personalized to individual learners, and based on Eureka Math. Lessons focus on three critical components: deep understanding, fluency, and problem-solving.  IXL is web-based and easy to set up, and can be accessed through most devices. Teachers can assign specific lessons based on students needs. Once students get going, IXL offers consistent feedback and reinforcement to help them work away at their own pace. Students will also have access to IXL as an overall intervention (this is included in the price of class). 

All class materials will be provided to students through the Outschool platform and Google Classroom. 

We will read reading materials during our class visits. All reading materials will be on-grade level.
