Grades in Language Arts
FCPS is raising the bar and setting high goals! We are teaching and grading students on the skills they need by the end of the school year. Think of it as a growth chart and each quarter students are measured in progress toward end of year expectations. In light of this, first quarter grades are often lower than the other quarters as students work to reach grade-level mastery. This is an expected part of the learning journey. We are here to support every student as they progress in learning. We are celebrating the effort and growth toward these new, higher standards! Learn more about this change in ELA grading and reporting.
4th Grade Highlights!4th grade is exploring and learning about different ecosystems. We have learned about Virginia’s natural resources and the importance of taking care of our watershed. We will be learning more about the importance of plants in ecosystems and the process of photosynthesis. We are excited to use Gizmos (online science simulations) to help us explore and understand the different parts of flowers and pollination. In math, we are continuing to learn about fractions. We are exploring the many ways to find equivalent fractions (fraction tiles, picture models, number lines, and equations) and using that knowledge to help us compare and order fractions.
