 4th Grade Expectations
Fourth grade is a time for great spiritual, academic and physical growth. Bible class teaches Bible stories and memorization of verses. Patriotism is stressed through daily pledges to the American flag, Christian flag and Bible. Every day is opened in prayer. Students are taught math, spelling, penmanship, grammar, reading, social studies, and science or health every day. Good study habits are encouraged by teaching students how to organize their time, write down assignments in an agenda, and by continual review for quizzes and tests.
Enrichment Programs
Fourth graders learn about Florida history from field trips to Spanish Point in Osprey and Cracker Country at the Florida State Fairgrounds, and by completing a notebook on Florida in the spring. Our math program is enhanced by an individualized program called Accelerated Math. Reading skills are reinforced through the Pizza Hut Book It Reading Contest and the Accelerated Reading program offered through our Venice Christian School library. Special classes are offered weekly in physical education, art, music, computer and Spanish. Chapel services are attended weekly.
