4th grade with mS. Herman
Hello! My name is Ms. Herman and I would like to welcome you to the Fantastic Fourth Grade!
In our class, the schedule includes Math, Social Studies, Religion, and Language Arts. In addition, students also attend enrichment classes throughout the week including Science, Foreign Language, Computer, Art, P.E., Library, and Music.
The Math curriculum for Fourth Grade covers California Standards and is built on the foundation of basic addition, subtraction, multiplication, and division skills.
In Social Studies, we learn all about the history of California, and students complete a major project in which they have the opportunity to build a model of a mission.
Throughout the year in Religion, students grow in their faith and understanding of what Catholics believe, how Catholics worship, how Catholics live, and how Catholics pray.
Lastly, Language Arts consists of Reading, Writing, Grammar, and Spelling and Vocabulary. These subjects work hand in hand in developing strong oral and written skills. In Reading, we will be exploring literature such as Charlie and the Chocolate Factory, the Lion, the Witch, and the Wardrobe, and Island of the Blue Dolphins. We will also complete many fiction and nonfiction readings, including biographies, fantasies, and scientific passages, and in doing so, we strengthen our comprehension skills.
Fourth Graders will attend exciting and educational field trips throughout the school year. Some of these include trips to Mission San Juan Capistrano and VT Ranch, which go along with our study of the California Missions and the Gold Rush, a trip to the Science Center to explore a brand new exhibit all about dogs, and even a behind the scenes tour of Dodger Stadium!
Our year together is fun and productive, and through all of our experiences and opportunities, we are able to grow together as a class.
