What Your Child Will Learn • Fourth Grade Tuition • Printable Information Sheet
Course Overview
The Fourth Grade Calvert experience is a unique and thrilling one as your child will use the writing process to compose original compositions. The reading curriculum moves away from traditional anthologies and relies more on classic children’s literature, with lessons designed to increase your student’s comprehension,
appreciation, and analysis. Poetry is read for pleasure and memorization.
We also introduce Fourth Graders to A Child’s History of the World, the classic and entertaining book written by Virgil Hillyer, Calvert School’s first Head Master. The dynamic spelling course continues to assist your blossoming writer and includes reviews commonly misspelled words.
In math the emphasis is on advancing your child’s understanding of multiplication and division and fractions, and students will enter the exciting world of statistics and data.
Technology lessons cover graphs and tables and are integrated into the science program, which covers living things, electricity, and magnetism. In geography, your child will begin to work with an atlas.
