4th Grade

Filled with questions and realizations, Fourth Grade students are as intricate and as complex as the maps they seek to create in their geography curriculum.  Working towards wholeness the students see as small parts come together in their cross stitching, drawing, and fraction work.  Fourth Graders at Hawthorne Valley are given the opportunity to have a strong connection to the land while tending to the needs of their own cow at the Hawthorne Valley Farm.  They become champions for their cow, much like the heroes of their studies. Exploring the deeds of the great ones the students grow from reading about individuals to emulate and respect, to becoming them.
