Welcome to Fourth Grade!

Fourth grade is a special time at Mary Seat of Wisdom as the students star our annual production of “The Nutcracker.”  Rehearsals begin in October with a final performance in December.  Every student has a role and the experience always proves to be fun and rewarding for the students, and magical for the audience!

Academically, fourth graders are working all year to prepare for Junior High, which now begins in fifth grade at MSW.  In language arts, students explore creative, narrative, expository and descriptive writing by reading novels, biographies, and poetry and by writing and presenting book reports.  In fourth grade mathematics, students are divided into accelerated and regular math groups based on individual math aptitude.  Both groups learn long division, decimals and measurement through math facts and story problems.  Science includes the study of the rock cycle, photosynthesis and the digestive and circulatory systems. Students also learn about weather, matter, electricity and electromagnets.  In social studies, students study current events, regions, Illinois and geography.
