| | | Welcome to our 4th Grade in Room 3107! |  |  | | We examine Science very carefully... |
Welcome to another great year coming up in 4th grade in Mrs. Garhofer's room.
In math, we will work on fractions, probability and learning about finding the perimeter and area of rectangles and triangles. We will also practice our basic math skills, which include subtraction, addition, multiplication and division and how to apply their uses when solving word problems by using secret code words. Using math games is another way to teach these skills in the classroom as well as in the computer lab.
In Social Studies we will learn about the  | | Now that's an array!!! |
planet Earth, the seven continents, regions of the United States including Minnesota. We will also explore different countries and cultures around the world including China, Mexico, Japan, France, Italy, Brazil, Austrailia, Africa and India.
As you scroll down this page, you will find information about what Ames Kids are learning this year in Math and Writer's Workshop. You can listen to a book, via a movie! Please contact me with any comments or concerns so I may address them in a timely manner.
Thank You and Enjoy!
