4th Grade
The transition from 3rd grade to 4th is one where the students become more independent in their studies and work, and more responsible for themselves. The students are in one class with their teacher for all subjects, except for language and math. We trade classes for language and math to get them used to going from one class to another and being responsible to get all their materials to class with them. In Bible class, we learn about the life Jesus led while he was here on earth and what kind of life we should lead. At the end of each lesson, the students have the opportunity to reflect back on what they have learned and see what changes they should try to implement in their lives. In reading, we read four or five novels a year and learn many different literacy and grammar skills, as well as learn how to view the world from God’s point of view.
Field Trips
In fourth grade, we go to the Shrine Circus each winter along with other area fourth graders. We also take a trip to the Auburn Cord Duesenberg Museum to go along with our study of Indiana history. The final field trip is to DeKalb Memorial Hospital for a program on organ donations.

Mrs. Robin Rose
I've been teaching at Lakewood Park Christian School since 2001. Before coming to Lakewood, I taught sixth grade five years for East Allen County School System.
I received my Bachelor’s degree in Bible from Baptist Bible College and my Indiana State teaching license from IPFW. As well as being able to teach in the elementary grades, I am also licensed to teach language arts through the ninth grade.

Mr. Brian Rayle
I graduated from Huntington University in May of 2008 with a Bachelors degree in Primary and Intermediate Elementary Education. I am certified to teach Kindergarten through eighth grade, in all subjects.
I live here in Auburn and attend County Line Church of God where I am actively involved in the junior high youth and with the music and children’s ministries.
I enjoy teaching fourth grade because students are at that wonderful age of still being excited about learning, but getting old enough to start doing some interesting and fun things.
I also help coach the girls varsity soccer team here at Lakewood Park
