All About 4th Grade
Mrs. Brucato starts the year by sharing goals with her class that they are expected to meet in each subject. As they meet each one, they can celebrate their progress. Students carry these goals with them in their binder. These goals are academic as well as interpersonal.

4th grade students have Senior Kindergarten chapel buddies! They will get to spend time with each other periodically throughout the school year. Chapel buddies will sit together during chapel when a Grace class is leading the service.
Every class from 1st grade and up gets to lead a chapel service once during the school year. This year, 4th grade turned their chapel service into a service project! They sold chips and lemonade to raise funds for a refugee family.
