Fourth Grade
4th grade is a challenging and rewarding year at the James Otis School. Students participate in a variety of learning opportunities in all academic areas. Students are engaged in many hands on activities, which promote growth and achievement. Students work collaboratively on projects and daily assignments that are aligned with the Common Core State Standards. Students are supported and encouraged to excel in the classroom. Students work very hard to prepare for the MCAS 2.0 in English Language Arts and Mathematics. Fourth grade is an important year in a child’s education. We have high expectations for our students. We hope to build a strong partnership with our students and their families. Together, let’s build and foster a 4th grade community of learners.

Hello! My name is Teresa DiCostanzo, and this year I am starting my 29th teaching year at the James Otis School. At the Otis, I have had the pleasure of teaching in the Transitional Bilingual Program, the SEI Program, and the Regular Education Program. I have taught grades 1-4. My favorite subjects to teach are math, social studies, and foreign languages. I have a Master's Degree in Education. Fourth Grade is a challenging and exciting year. As we embark upon our 4th grade journey, I look forward to meeting and collaborating with parents to make their child's academic and social year a success. Happy Journey!
