This past nine weeks was full of fun and excitement.       All of Fourth Grade went on a field trip to the Science Museum of Western Virginia in Roanoke. The students  had a wonderful time petting interesting animals,         exploring science through hands-on activities, and even watching a video in the museum’s famous planetarium. Thanks to all the chaperons who helped make this field trip a success.

In Math, we will begin our unit on fractions and decimals. Concepts will include identifying fractions, finding   equivalent fractions, adding and subtracting fractions, discovering the relationship between fractions and     decimals, and adding and subtracting decimals.  Having your child help with cooking and baking at home is a fun and easy way to help reinforce these concepts and help your student see math in everyday life.
