William Chambers has been at TGS since 2004.
The fourth grade year is one of growth, development, and
accomplishment. In fourth grade we build on each student's growing
social capabilities and ethical awareness to create an optimal learning
environment. This atmosphere fosters independence and respect for
diversity in others. Fourth graders work on broadening and
strengthening their knowledge base in all areas. This grade often sees
children shift from an emphasis on process to an equal focus on the end
result. With these factors in mind, we are able to complete many
exciting projects on our fourth grade journey.
