  3. Science and Texas History • In the fourth grade, your child will be studying Texas History. • In Science, we will focus on several topics: matter, energy, force, motion, types of soil, and erosion.

  4. Language Arts • Language arts consists of reading, writing, spelling, and handwriting. • Please encourage your child to read nightly. • Spelling focuses on phonics and skill building concepts. There will not be weekly lists; however, there is a core list that students will be expected to know by the end of the year.

  5. Writing • Please practice handwriting at home with your child. Cursive handwriting is introduced in class but practiced at home through homework assignments. • Students will be learning how to write two types of compositions this year: Narrative & Expository • Students will also learn how to revise and edit a composition.

  6. Homework • In all subjects, homework will be assigned on Monday and due on Friday. • Please read, practice handwriting, and multiplication facts nightly.

Grading Procedures • Spelling grades count as 10% of the Language Arts grade. • All other grades carry equal weight. • Handwriting, Health, and Art grades will be given as an S or an N. • All make-up work must be completed at school. • Failing tests may be redone once per test to receive full credit up to a 70. • Students may redo failing grades for daily work after the concept has been re-taught.
