4th Grade Teacher

Angela Borlaug

In fourth grade our focus is to become more aware of our place in the world around us. We strive to become more independent and responsible both academically and socially.

During the year, students will focus on the following:

  • Religious education featuring the Ten Commandments and the Beatitudes

  • Place value, multi-digit numbers, problem solving, multiplication and division of single and multiple numbers, and fractions using Math In Focus

  • Character, setting, and plot; main idea and details; fact and opinion; cause and effect; author’s purpose, fluency, vocabulary and increased reading ability with original texts through the Wit and Wisdom reading curriculum

  • Grammar (nouns, verbs, etc.); usage (how each is used); mechanics of writing (punctuation, indentation, etc.); and vocabulary (synonyms, antonyms, homophones)

  • Our Country and its Regions

  • Smithsonian Institution Science Kit program featuring Motion and Design; Electrical Circuits and many other interesting science topics

4th Graders learn about reverence and understand that Christ is the center of our education at St. Joe’s.
