Students read the novel, "Sarah Plain and Tall" by Patricia Maclachlan. After reading the story, students wrote a book report, and created a collage illustrating the characters and setting from the story. Jennifer made a 3-D model of the farm house the story took place in!




Fourth grade students created a web to display the meaning behind the Sacrament of Penance and Reconciliation. Students worked in groups to explain contrition, confession, penance, and absolution.

In Science we are learning about rocks and minerals. Our class started growing salt crystals. As the crystals start to grow, I will post more pictures!
During the feast day of St. Francis of Assisi, our class drew pictures of St. Francis with the animals he loved and supported. Students learned that St. Francis saw animals as his brothers and sisters because they were God’s creatures, just like people.

Welcome to the St. Jude Regional Catholic School fourth grade class blog! This page will be used to post pictures of classroom activities/ projects/ and events. The students in fourth grade explore many different concepts relating to the history of our state, and shape of the land. We explore different types of literature, and writing. Students learn about the world around them through hands-on activities and field trips. This is an wonderful group of students and they amaze me every day!
