Grade 4 Curriculum
Overview Grade 4 Curriculum Overview
The Fourth Grade curriculum provides opportunities for independent and group work. Working as a team toward common goals, students develop an appreciation for the value that each child brings to the classroom. Students also have ample opportunity to work independently, and the room is set up to encourage independence and growth. The curriculum includes a series of lessons and studies related to good manners. Practicing common courtesies such as holding a door for a friend or listening when another is speaking allows for a more peaceful classroom environment, diffuses classroom conflicts, and puts into practice important life lessons. These values are extended through the curriculum to writer’s workshop, allowing students to share their writing in a safe environment with classmates who are able to listen and allow for a different point of view. By creating an environment where it is safe to discover, explore, share, and grow, Fourth Graders at All Saints are able to successfully navigate this emotional, dynamic year.
Language Arts
The Fourth Grade Language Arts curriculum focuses on careful inventory of personal skills and areas for targeted focus as a way of preparing students for the academic demands of middle school. A strong emphasis is placed on reading skills and strategies to ensure a capacity to manage a variety of challenging materials including textbooks, essays, rich literature, and historical documents. Students are encouraged to engage fully in classroom discussions about literature and to challenge one another’s thinking by offering opposing points of view and understanding, particularly during Literature Circle meetings. Students are also engaged in a spelling curriculum that is designed to lead students toward mastery of essential spelling skills.

Grade 4 - Action Research
In Fourth Grade, students participate in a specialized “Action Research Course”. During this course, students conduct a yearlong action research project based on an area of need within the City of Hoboken. As part of their research, students interview City Council members and take “man on the street” surveys on the topic they are researching. In addition, students survey all of the Fourth Grade students throughout Hoboken. After students have conducted and analyzed their research, their findings are compiled into an extensive research report which is presented to the community of Hoboken at a City Council meeting.
