Mrs. Perry's Fourth Grade
Happy December!
December is here and it is going to go quickly! We will continue to learn about our nation's beginnings! We will begin a novel study of The Lion, the Witch, and the Wardrobe! I think the students will love the story and we will have great discussions about the character development and moral dilemmas within the story.
The students seemed to grasp the concept of fractions last week! WE WILL DIVE DEEPER THIS WEEK WITH EQUIVALENT FRACTIONS AND COMPARING FRACTIONS!
I HOPE EVERYONE HAD AN AMAZING FEW DAYS OF FAMILY TIME AND TOGETHERNESS!
Thank you, MS. SEYMOUR, for the paper donation!
