Grade 4 Blest Are We Faith & Word Edition Parish helps students learn, love and live their faith. Engaging Special Features help build Catholic identity. Student Books include five units, each with four chapters.
Chapters are structured around the four pillars of the Catechism: Catholic faith,
worship, life, and prayer. Each begins with a Take-Home page to involve parents
in helping their children prepare for the chapter. Lessons follow a three-step
learning process inviting the children to Share, to Hear and Believe, and to
Respond. Each chapter includes Scripture and church teaching including
statements of faith and Faith Words. Children respond through written work,
activities and prayer. Chapters conclude with review exercises. Faith in Action
pages highlight parish ministries and vocations. A write-in glossary and a
mini-catechism are included at the back of each book.

My name is Greg Franzen. I am married to my wife, Jenny, and I have 3 children named Allison (19), Alex (16), and Zach (8). I work at Fidelity Investments, and I have been there for the last 19 years. I have been teaching the 4th grade in the PSR program for the last 13 years. In the 4th grade we focus on the 10 commandments. I really enjoy leading the class room discussions that focus on various character building topics, and I like listening to the thoughts and ideas of the students. I think the boys and girls are at a great age to be encouraged to be the best people they can grow up to be. My goal is to make a positive impact on my students while trying to create a classroom environment that is fun and educational. I'm looking forward to meeting my students and starting a new school year.
