"The future belongs to those who believe in the beauty of their dreams." – Eleanor Roosevelt
Fourth Grade Teachers
Mr. Malcolm Jones
Fourth grade is a year of deepening knowledge and higher expectations. Students read more complex literature and nonfiction texts, strengthening comprehension, analysis, and vocabulary. In math, they extend their work with multiplication and division to larger numbers, explore fractions and decimals, and tackle multi-step word problems. In writing, they refine their ability to write organized essays with evidence to support their ideas.
Socially and emotionally, fourth graders are developing stronger peer relationships and a greater sense of independence. They are learning how to set goals, manage time, and take more ownership of their work. This year lays the groundwork for the responsibility and academic rigor of the upper grades.
