 It is with great pleasure that I welcome you to the newly updated grade 4 room! There are many exciting activities planned for the grade 4 class this year. One of our class mottos is “Organization is the key to success”. Students will continue to develop the independent skills needed for the intermediate grades. We will focus on setting goals and self evaluating these goals. Agenda books, homework files and keeping books and supplies organized will be a major focus. Our second motto is “Like the Lorax, we will speak up for the environment”. The grade 4 class will continue to run the composting program at OLS and we hope to teach classes even more about what to recycle both at school and home.
Here’s a snapshot of what to expect in grade 4.

We will be celebrating the CISVA theme. We will be discussing how students can apply this to their daily lives. Students will also lead daily prayer.
