December Updates for Miss Zelle's class

Dear Parents/Guardians,

This is a short month, so we have a lot of learning over the next few weeks.  The fourth graders continue to work hard at school, and put forth their best efforts! In math students are learning about collecting and organizing data.  Students will also analyze and graph data using bar graphs, double bar graphs, line graphs, and circle graphs.  In communication arts, we continue to work in guided reading groups, and on making inferences.  Please encourage your students to read every night for 20 minutes!  In writing students will be publishing their persuasive paragraphs on computers.  In science, we are learning about the changes to Earth’s surface.  Students will learn about soil, Earth’s landforms, and the causes of change to Earth’s landforms. 

Thanks,
Miss Zelle
