2018 - 2019 School Year
Welcome to Fourth Grade
SCHOOL WIDE THEME: The Beloved- Names, Essence, Way of Being
In fourth grade, students are focusing on understanding their place in the world, and their impact on their surroundings. Through a learning and respect for the names of that which exists in our universe, students will come to understand the important diversity of Allah’s creations and systems. Through that learning, students will expand their understanding to the essence of these creations and the qualities for which they are known. They will recognize that our quality of being is based on intentionality and purpose. All of Allah’s creations have a pattern of existence, and through our daily actions we display tolerance, respect and connectivity to the systems of which we are a part.
