4th Grade

4th Grade – Mrs. Matthews and Ms. Clemens

“When I first came to Steele, everyone was so welcoming. I feel like I belong here.”

What makes 4th grade special?

• Students develop jobs and a society, integrating government, math, economics, reading and writing. They make, build, and market products to mimic an economy.
  • “I love that our teachers allow us to work together with my classmates.”
• 4th graders take part in project-based learning, allowing them to explore their own passions and creativity.
  • “I loved Genius Hour because we get to explore our feelings in what we want to change about the world!”
• 4th graders are hands-on learners; when they learn about plant and animal structures, they dissect a squid, a sheep’s brain, and a cow’s eye!
  • “There is always a new challenge awaiting me. I feel like this makes me smarter.”
• Field Trips! Every year, 4th graders travel to locations to dig deeper into Colorado History.
  • “Across the grade levels, we all seem to know each other.”
  • “Steele is a place filled with trust and respect for each other.”
