4th Grade Gift Tradition

Paw Prints & the 4th Grade Gift Tradition
Each year, the 4th grade community collects funds for school improvements that will benefit the school for years to come.

Welcome to fourth grade at Percy Priest!

As the “seniors” of the school, fourth graders experience a wide variety of activities that help begin to make the transition to middle school. Throughout the year, they are introduced to a wide variety of learning strategies that they can place in their educational “tool belt.” This tool belt will be loaded full of ideas to help them succeed throughout their educational career as they progress onto higher education. 

Strategies such as study tips, memorization techniques, and communication skills are all placed inside the tool belt to help them become lifelong learners. Fourth graders experience hands on activities that help learning become more realistic. Field trips such as Mammoth Cave, The Hermitage, and Ripley’s Aquarium “Sleep With The Sharks” are just a few of the experiences that will soon become lifelong memories.

Throughout the year, the Percy Priest Fourth Grade Family works together to build school unity and spirit throughout the school. They are the leaders of the school and therefore receive responsibilities such as leading the morning announcements, serving on the student council, and mentoring younger students in the reading process. We look forward to having your student join us on our journey through fourth grade.
