  • In Mrs. Brace's class we will be studying lots of amazing things. 

    In fourth grade ELAR, students read and understand a wide variety of literary and informational texts and compose a variety of written texts with a clear controlling idea, coherent organization, and sufficient detail. Students will engage in activities that build on their prior knowledge and skills in order to strengthen their reading, writing and oral language skills and should read and write on a daily basis.

    In Social Studies, students will examine the history of Texas from the early beginnings to the present. The historical content focuses on Texas history, including the Texas Revolution, the establishment of the Republic of Texas, and subsequent annexation to the United States. Students use critical-thinking skills to identify cause-and-effect relationships, compare and contrast, and make generalizations and predictions.   

    Math and Science are with Mrs. Conrad: 

    Math will involve applying mathematics to problems arising in everyday life. Students will use a problem-solving model that incorporates analyzing given information, formulating a plan or strategy, determining a solution, justifying the solution, and evaluating the problem-solving process and the reasonableness of the solution. The primary focus includes the use of operations, fractions, and decimals and describing and analyzing geometry and measurement. Science investigations are used to learn about the natural world.
