The Wonder of Grade 4: Full Year
Your child is taking a further step towards independence. They are gaining a new awareness of themselves. When they were younger, they were more connected to you and their environment; now, they look at their environment and you with a more critical eye! This can feel upsetting if you don't remember that it is all part of their developmental path toward independence!! So take a deep breath, and smile!
This year, the study of Local Geography will help them gain confidence as they develop a sense of where they are geographically and gain skills to navigate from A to B. The Norse Myths offer wonderful tales displaying a broad spectrum of human characteristics your child will relate to. New challenges in report writing and fractions will satisfy their urge for independence.
