This adventure will include a tour of Fort Castillo de San Marco, a trolley ride around the city, a tour through the old jail, and free time to explore other interests. In the spring there are several trips planned that include the Museum of Science and History in Jacksonville, a tour or our own Amelia Island Museum, a trip to Fort Clinch and others. In math, we will begin the year with a study of place value and a review of addition and subtraction. Every student needs to review multiplication facts so that he or she will be ready. Most of our math skills for the remainder of the year require a working knowledge of multiplication.
Writing is an important focus in fourth grade.
Florida Writes is a test given in January to determine writing skills. Please ask your child about his writing assignments and feelings about writing as the year unfolds. Your encouragement will mean a lot. The geography of our state as well as plants, animals, and people will be interesting topics for discussion. A list of these projects will be coming home the first few weeks.
