THE GRADE 4 EXPERIENCE
Key Developmental Milestones Children of this age often become aware of the intricacies and subtleties of the world around them. This is a year of intellectual stretching, wondering, arguing, questioning and doubting – all signs of remarkable growth in resilience, curiosity, maturing character and capacity for independence. Fairness matters greatly to Grade 4s and there is greater concern for global justice. Fourth graders often enjoy small groups and enjoy coming together to play games or share collections. Working with industrious care on purposeful and appropriately challenged assignments, they are often willing to put a great deal of effort into final products. The 4th grade learning program is designed to support and develop these key developmental milestones.
