MECHANICS
We begin each morning by observing mentoring sentences. This is a comprehensive review of grammar, parts of speech, usage, etc... We follow this activity with a think-a-gram riddle. This is a fun way for students to use their higher level thinking skills to figure out the answer.
WRITING:
Fourth Grade authors write to explain, entertain, reflect, and persuade. We will become expert authors of personal narrative and expository compositions.
As our fourth graders grow, we will master the use of the 6 Traits of Writing: IDEAS, ORGANIZATION, VOICE, WORD CHOICE, SENTENCE FLUENCY and PRESENTATION.
