WELCOME SHOOTING STARS! 💫

Shooting Star Academy’s full curriculum Fourth Grade class gives learners a complete classroom experience with writing, STEM science, reading time, beginning linguistics in Spanish, advanced English Language Arts, and Montessori math. Our teachers work hard to ensure each student’s needs are met, and these courses are designed so that a learner can come and go each week as needed. We do not build upon previous content, so it isn’t necessary to attend every week consecutively.

Each lesson begins with calendar time, charting the weather, and sharing time. 

English days consist of Montessori Grammar symbols, beginning Spanish concepts (like “what day of the week is it?”, or “what is the most common weather type in class?”), punctuation, intro to writing paragraphs, and/or story time. 

Science days incorporate STEM projects or experimental worksheets that will be based on our monthly themes. Projects will be completed several times per month (we supply monthly schedules upon enrolling), and we will work on matching, identifying, and classifying. 

Math days use a variety of techniques between Montessori and Reggio Emilia. This age group will have topics that range from money proficiency, to addition, subtraction, multiplication and division fact families and use them in equations and two-step word problems. We will use several manipulatives which will be posted as necessary over the course of the year. 

All manipulatives will be provided weekly to the student and parents in the classroom tab by the assigned teacher the Sunday before scheduled classes to give families time to prepare.

The monthly themes are:

January - Human Body
February - Fantasy/Myth and States of Matter
March - Farm/All About Plants
April - Weather/Types of Weather
May - Rainforest Exploration/Insects
(Summer classes run from June-August)
September - Camping/Forest 
October - Professions/The Five Senses
November - Space/Outer Space
December - Winter!/Arctic and Polar Animals

**WE TAKE OFF ONE WEEK IN NOVEMBER, TWO WEEKS AT THE END OF DECEMBER, AND ONE WEEK IN APRIL. WE ALSO DO NOT HAVE CLASS ON US NATIONAL HOLIDAYS. THESE WEEKS ARE SKIPPED AND THE DAYS ARE REFUNDED.**

One scheduled week is taught as follows:

Monday: Reading, phonics, and spelling words
Tuesday: Math Concepts
Wednesday: Science
Thursday: Math Concepts
Friday: Paragraph writing, literature worksheets


Here are samples of the curriculum for one of the first weeks of class

Week of September 10th: Woodland Animals
Monday: Chapter book reading, sounding out and spelling complex words
Tuesday: Math - Counting, reading numbers up to 100,000, adding six-digit numbers
Wednesday: Science - outdoor exploration
Thursday: Math - adding six digit numbers

*A full book schedule is included in the Supply list section.
**TEACHERS WILL BE READING THESE BOOKS IN CLASS, YOU DO NOT NEED TO PURCHASE THEM. THEY MAY BE SUBJECT TO CHANGE THROUGHOUT THE SCHOOL YEAR.

Learning Goals

English: Be familiar with the basic parts of speech (the noun family, verbs, adverbs, prepositions, pronouns, conjunctions, and interjections) and be able to write basic paragraphs. We will also begin basic essay and short story writing.
Reading: Be able to read chapter books, answer questions about chapters, and identify the genre of texts.

Other Details

Learning Needs
Our Montessori-inspired education can benefit children with ADHD, dyslexia, or dyscalculia by being hands-on, student-led, and compassionate to all learning paces. We also have experience educating students on the autistic spectrum.
Parental Guidance
Since these classes do include crafts and science projects, there are potential hazards for young learners. Example: using scissors in class. It may be necessary for a parent to supervise cutting, pasting, or other hands-on activities.
Supply List
Every Sunday parent’s are given a weekly resource packet in the classroom tab. There are materials that will need to be printed out, so a printer is required to participate in these classes.
Students should also general school supplies like glue sticks, colored pencils/crayons/markers, scissors, and a wipe board with dry erase markers.


Book Schedule:
**TEACHERS WILL BE READING THESE BOOKS IN CLASS, YOU DO NOT NEED TO PURCHASE THEM.

We don't have class during major US Holidays, so the book schedule is planned accordingly.

As we will be reading chapter books in fourth grade, we have selected one book per month and will be doing weekly reviews of the content learned in the chapter.
