The ClassroomFourth grade students learn to express in writing what they have learned across the curriculum. 因此,写作是每个学术领域不可或缺的一部分. A team of teachers instructs the core courses of math, science, language arts, and social studies. 所有学科领域都强调和教授组织和学习技能. 四年级的亮点包括去威廉斯堡过夜, 向家长展示的ppt项目, 在班级选择上有更多的自由.
体育教育仍然是四年级学生日常生活的一部分, as does Spanish, where they explore their creativity and speaking skills with skits they present to family members entirely in Spanish. |
The MoreMaking more of a book than what is presented on the page takes many forms in these later years in Lower School. Our 100 Books program encourages out-of-school reading of books aimed at expanding a child's (and family's) exposure to a wide variety of literary types and topics. 如果在五年级结束前完成, 一个学生从我们的图书管理员那里收到一张特殊的证书和一份礼物.
At the end of the year, 在图书馆和我们的图书管理员进行了数周的研究之后, 以及使用ppt的速成班, each fourth-grade student will deliver a presentation in Fishburn Auditorium. 这个项目为学生提供了研究的机会, analyze, write, and present on a singular topic and continues the North Cross belief in the benefits of public speaking.
学生可以选择参加其中的任何一种 Beginning Band,介绍木管乐器和铜管乐器,或在 Lower School Chorus,突出音乐理论和视唱技巧. 在每周的视觉艺术课上, 学生们学习不同的技巧和艺术家的风格, 全年在不同的媒体工作. |

The ClassroomIt may sound odd, but the best word with which to describe a fifth grader at North Cross is 'storyteller.这是因为他们学到的一切, 从编码到古代文明, 是通过故事被赋予生命的吗. The study of early humans begins the first few months of a fifth-grader's history curriculum. 但是他们的工作早在学年之前就开始了. 上五年级的暑期必读书目是 Boy in the Painted Cave by Justin F. Denzel. 虽然不是历史教科书, it brings to life the time in which fifth-graders will spend their first weeks of school—the Cro-Magnum era.
有许多课程是通过课堂活动来说明的. Whether it be solving a word problem that will help choose the correct ingredients for a fraction 'pizza,' or performing a controlled science experiment and charting the results for a poster presentation, 我们的老师已经找到了许多方法来教导学生掌握技能, not to the test, 通过赋予主题以生命. It's one thing to have a student memorize facts about an Ancient Egyptian God, but it's entirely another to have him research and present his biography (as the God himself) to their class. Go ahead, ask a fifth-grader what the first written word looked like, they can draw it for you. 他们以前用粘土做过. |
The More数学老师凯特·克拉克(Kate Clark)最近说,她的学生问:“Mrs. 克拉克,我们什么时候开始学代数?她回答说:“你已经是了。.“学生们即将进入大学的最后一年 Singapore Math, 一个不仅仅强调数学“如何”的课程, but the 'why,通过将数字可视化为“可移动的部分”来理解解决方案.' Sound like Algebra? (2x + 2) + x = 632 used to be something a student couldn't comprehend until 6th or 7th grade. 使用文字问题和条形模型来表示不同的数量, students can visualize the different parts of the problem so that figuring out how to solve it becomes, well, elementary.
一张索引卡能容纳多少信息? What if the only information you could put on it is that which might actually help you in an open-note test? 现在,决定在上面放些什么 one card, 将信息组织起来以便于查找, 然后用你能理解的方式转录出来. This is just one example of the study skills taught which help our students organize information so that they'll have the building blocks for future research papers and presentations.
