Fourth grade is a wonderful time to ask questions and seek answers. Kids love to come up with wonderful questions, but teachers do not always have what they need to answer those questions. I do not like to give my students answers, but rather, allow them to find the answers on their own. This is a wonderful life lesson that they can learn early, if they are given the chance.
I teach fourth grade in a rural, high poverty town in South Carolina. My class averages around 22 students, which is a mixture of African Americans and Caucasians. Our school is only two in the state where we teach from K-4 to 12 grade in one school. We are able to see our students grow through the years, and I want to make sure that they also grow in their learning.
