Fourth Grade
Fourth
Grade is a fantastic year full of adventure and challenge. We're
not just “learning to read” anymore...we are “reading
to learn”. We study five novels throughout the year, one
of which is Richard Henry Dana's Two Years Before The Mast.
This prepares us, along with our acquired knowledge of sea terms,
knot tying and sea chanteys to participate in an overnight program
aboard the Brig
Pilgrim in Dana Point Harbor.
We visit the Santa Barbara Mission during Lent and attend Lenten devotions in the same place where native Americans worked and prayed during the 1800s.
Science is a hands-on experience as we investigate rocks, minerals, electricity and habitats.
It's our first year in the upper grades building and the beginning
of our transition from the primary grades to the intermediate
grades. Fourth Grade is also the first year that students receive
letter grades and participate in the honor roll program at SPBS.
Come and join us for a faith-filled year of learning!
