Fourth Grade
Lee Anne Viall
Welcome to fabulous fourth grade at Hickory Valley Christian School! Fourth is a special age where students seemingly have one foot in the pre-teen world and the other foot still in the world of childhood. You will likely see many changes in their social dynamics, namely the increasing importance of their friends and peer groups, but don't worry -- at this age, family is still the most important! You will be amazed at how they mature emotionally and academically!
