In this 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 through music (which we will create), dancing, and chanting. 

This class meets the United States National Council for Social Studies and Common Core standards. This means that this class will cover the following but not limited to geography, American government, history around the world, American history, economics, and civics. In this class students will learn how to use analytic skills and understanding citizens different point of views. 

The cost of the class is for the 4th grade learning experience. Students will have access to IXL as learning interventions. 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). Students will only be used during our class time, students will not be assigned homework on the IXL platform. 

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.
