Welcome to the Sacred Heart School 4th grade webpage. It's going to be a fantastic school year, but we all need to work together - teachers, students, and parents.  Communication is key to a flourishing school/home relationship. I will keep you posted on what is happening via email, the website, and Google Classroom. Please feel free to contact me if you have any questions. Email:  kmcnamara@sacred-heart-school.org

I believe that students learn more when they have fun doing it.  What seems like arts and crafts is actually a lesson in measurement or one honing in on the skills of following directions both oral and written.   Word searches increase focus and build on the ability to identify word patterns.  Everything we do has a purpose!

I will keep you informed, but if you have any questions, please reach out.

                                                                    

According to  (https://www.greatschools.org/gk/articles/fourth-grade-benchmarks/), students should be able to memorize and recall facts, take notes on what they read, write a paragraph, add and subtract decimals, compare decimals and fractions, multiply a multiple-digit number by a one-digit number, and multiply two two-digit numbers, divide a multiple-digit number by one-digit number to get whole number answers with remainders and find the area of two-dimensional shapes by the end of 4th grade.  We will get there, but remember there are many roads to the same destination.  I am excited to be making this journey with your children.

Thank you, and God bless you.
