Fourth grade is a busy year for students at St. Paul Parish School. Students learn how to manage their time and improve their level of organization as they grow in their understanding of the faith. New study skills are emphasized and students begin using binders.
Fourth graders study Oregon and take field trips to the state Capitol building and Mt. Angel. Students learn all about Oregon, from the Oregon Trail and regions of the state to state government.
Students end the year with a research paper about an important American, design a project and make presentations for the school community during a Famous American Day.
