We had a spectacular evening sharing with families the work that goes on inside the classroom and what it means to be a fourth grader. It was a joy to share the work our class has accomplished so far and show your artifacts of the students’ learning. Even though teachers guided parents through an activity done with students and prepared a presentation, nothing conveys the experience Fourth Grade better than the words of a fourth grader. The following link is a video compilation of student interviews reflecting and looking ahead after the first three weeks of our year together.
For specific curriculum information, a .pdf copy of the presentation shown at DS4 Curriculum Night is provided below. Along with the details, insights into our reasoning, intentions and teaching practices are peppered through the overview.
