Our curriculum focuses on students' ability to Read, Write, Use Language skills, and to be able to Speak and Listen in class.
- In Reading, students read both Fiction and Non-fiction texts. We focus on character, story elements, facts and opinions, main idea and supporting details, summarizing, sequencing, and students practice making inferences.
- In Writing, students focus on the three main reasons an author writes: to persuade, inform and entertain through both formal and quick writing projects.
- In Language skills, students focus on vocabulary development, spelling skills, and the use of grammar rules.
- Speaking and Listening are incorporated into all areas with opportunities to practice public speaking skills

Additional Information
Additional General Information
Books: All workbooks and the homework book should be covered and labeled with clear contact paper. The student's name should be on the front.
Supplies: Every student must come to class prepared with the items listed on the school website for each grade level.
Homework: Approximately 40-45 minutes per night for both study and written homework. Study skills are very important to students and we will be working to develop these skills during the school day as well.
Parents, please sign homework books each night.
All assignments are to be neatly written and complete. Incomplete homework that is unexcused will result in loss of points. Homework assignments will be posted on the classroom website daily.
Tests: Tests will be sent home bi-weekly. Students have two school days to return tests signed.
Academics: Numerical grades will be given this year. These grades are determined by tests, quizzes, projects, and class participation. Fourth-grade students will also receive a grade on their report card in Specialty Areas of study: Art, Gym, Library (in ELA), Music, and Technology.
Discipline: Discipline problems will be handled in the classroom. Recurring misbehavior or discipline issues will result in an email or phone call to the parents.
Correspondence: The best way to make contact is by email.
We will make every effort to answer every email the same day it is received. If we do not have any prep periods during the day we will return the email after school or in the evening.
Please contact the school office if you have important information that must be received during the school day.
We can also be reached through the school office phone number, 215-884-0843. We will return your call as soon as possible.
