4th Grade

As part of their 4th grade education, Pat Gibbons‘ students consider characteristics that make strong people: leaders, innovators, athletes, musicians, authors, artists, and more. They study inventors and showcase their own ideas at the Invention Convention. Night of the Notables, when students portray famous people, is part of their biography unit. A year-end trip to Ellis Island and the Statue of Liberty concludes their study of the many immigrants who made valuable contributions that improved America.
