Multicultural Studies- 4^th Grade: Our Reading series introduces the students to a variety of cultures. Tomas and the Library Lady teaches the students about migrant workers and introduces a few Spanish words for them to learn. Then another story, A Very Important Day, teaches the children about the basic process of becoming a United States citizen, as families from all over the world attend their swearing in ceremony.

 

 Fire Drills, bus evacuations Tornado drills are part of our curriculum.  A safety reminder : Many fire departments encourage people to change the batteries in their smoke detectors when they change their clocks because Daylight Saving Time provides a convenient reminder. "A working smoke detector more than doubles a person's chances of surviving a home fire," says William McNabb of the Troy Fire Department in Michigan . More than 90 percent of homes in the United States have smoke detectors, but one-third are estimated to have dead or missing batteries.
