Dear Fourth Grade Class,      

Welcome to the FOURTH GRADE!! We are so excited to meet you and start our school year. We are going to have such an amazing year, learning and growing together. We have so many fascinating things to learn and explore this year, through all of our studies.

Please read this summer! You have your packets for Math and Language Arts. Please practice your skills over the summer! If you do not have the packet, or lost it, it is posted here.

This year, we will increase our Faith and Love for God and the Church.  As we continue our Religious Studies we will strive to learn to serve and show that we are His witness to the world.

We are also going to become more appreciative readers in Language Arts. We will explore different genres of novels, poetry and short stories. Together and individually, we will be using our grammar, vocabulary and spelling to become more fluent writers.

There are many areas of Math that we will have fun discovering. Some of them, in addition to addition and subtraction, are multiplication, division, measurements, decimals and fractions. 

Energy, animals, plants and rocks are just a few of the areas we will look at in science. We will conduct exciting experiments throughout the year to help us understand how the world around us works!

The last area we will cover this year is Social Studies!! We will learn about our government, regions of our country, our state and our roles in the community. There are so many fun things we will do. Examples are having elections, writing our own skits to relive history, creating models of history and activities that bring us right into the present day! 

We hope you are as excited as we are. We look forward to the end of August, when our adventure begins! 

In the meantime, we hope you enjoy your summer. Spend time with your family. Play with your friends! Read stories. Go outside and enjoy yourself swimming, playing, bike riding or any other activity you love. In other words, HAVE FUN!!!!!!!

See you soon,

Ms. Bordfeld
