In this full curriculum class, students will receive all the necessary tools to be successful in fourth grade. We aim to ensure that learning is fun and successful for every learner. We will encourage learners to share their music, dancing, and chanting, fostering a strong community within the class.

Students will have access to weekly printables. The teacher will post the outline of the lesson along with printables every Sunday. If you enroll midweek, no problem, the teacher will send you the printables. In this class, students will be assigned homework to enhance our class lessons. Please encourage your learner to complete homework assignments. Each class will begin with a welcome and a bell ringer. A bell ringer is used as a moment to teach a lesson of the day, such as grammar and mental math. Then, the teacher will begin the lesson. All learners need to focus and come to class ready. When learners come to class prepared, it allows them to focus and participate more.


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

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

Please note that this is an ongoing class. Therefore, parents can enroll their students at any time in the class without their learners feeling behind.
