4th Grade
Overview
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.”
