Curriculum

This year students will engage in a variety of new content and have the opportunity to dig deeper in areas they have explored in earlier grades.

In Math, using the Everyday Math 4 curriculum, students will deepen their understanding of fractions and decimals, learn about volume, order of operations, and exponents.   In Reading, students will engage in small, guided reading groups, whole-class read alouds, and book clubs to sharpen their comprehension and fluency skills while exploring a variety of genres including realistic fiction, historical fiction, fantasy, non-fiction, poetry, plays, and myths. In Writing, students will produce narratives, persuasive essays, and informational feature articles.
