The Language Arts program will focus on four strands: reading, writing, spelling, and grammar and mechanics. The fourth graders will read five main novels and will complete a poetry unit. Our spelling series allows students to learn spelling skills based on phonics through unique, cross-curricular reading passages, practice, and writing activities. The materials for language arts focus on the grammar and mechanics, study skills, vocabulary development, and sentence structure. Students write daily to practice spelling, grammar, handwriting, and composition. They write in many different genres, and most often their writing is born from the science/history topic that we are currently studying. They will publish at least 6 reports and other projects over the course of the year.
The world of fractions permeates all concepts in math in fourth grade. Through fractions, the four processes and math facts are strengthened, word problems become more complex, and students make connections into the world of decimals and percentages.

By the end of fourth grade students should be able to add, subtract, multiply and divide fractions with different denominators. They should understand the logic behind reducing and expanding equivalent fractions.

Students explore the laws of electricity and magnetism, experimenting and inventing devices that use electrical circuits and switches.
California History permeates the fourth grade. History is shaped not only by people but also by landscape. Therefore our study of history is better termed California Geography. We start by looking the native lifestyles in the San Francisco East Bay, supported by our local naturalists at Coyote Hills. Later in the year, our scope widens to see the influences of Spanish, Mexican, and Gold Rush immigrants to our state. We end by looking specifically at Hayward, and how our own city developed and changed within this history up to looking at our personal family histories. Throughout the year students will draw many maps, mostly from sight, but also from images and memory. In other history units throughout the year, students will listen to and read Native Mythologies such as the Hopi and Navaho which allows the imagination to grow in writing and art.
Hadith Study- Fourth graders will begin a study of the science of hadith classification and collection. They will learn the about the biographies of Sahaba who transmitted many hadith as well as the biographies of collectors of hadith. We will engage in weekly discussions and recording of well known hadith guided by The Content of Character hadith workbook.

Students with dyslexia read slowly, laboriously, deciphering text letter-by-letter, leaving little mental capacity to contemplate the meaning being conveyed or the literary devices employed. Reading for these students becomes a task to avoid. Early in their school life, a vicious cycle develops where weak readers avoid reading and fall behind. Good readers gain knowledge and confidence while struggling readers may find much of the curriculum inaccessible and experience diminished self-confidence. Similar patterns of behaviour occur when learning to spell and communicate in writing. Dyslexic students find learning to spell very challenging. This in turn hampers their choice of words used in writing passages, which is not an accurate reflection of their knowledge.
Application is open for all students in Kindergarten program. For Grades 1-8, students are designed for students which dyslexia, that is, students who have difficulty in reading, writing , spelling, and/or Math.
