You are not the only parent wondering if your child will "get" 4th grade. They may be struggling now but I promise they will "Get it" and absolutely AMAZE you by spring time!
4th Grade is a huge leap from 3rd grade. These first few weeks are like BOOT CAMP as children adjust to the rigor and fast pace of 4th grade. With the elimination of homework teachers must squeeze even more into the instructional day so we don't leave anything out.
I am sure your kids are tired at the end of each day. They should be!! School is your child's place of work. While we make learning fun and engaging, it is work. 4th grade students are expected to do more work independently. Be patient and support them. They will get it.
Progress Reports will be coming out soon. Grades may be lower than you expected, but we have 5 weeks to get our work done better and turned in on time before Report Cards. Just remember these first weeks are Boot Camp.
