 th Grade Overview

Math: We have begun comparing fractions. We learned that some fractions are equivalent. Example:  1/2 is equivalent to 2/4, 3/6, 4/8 etc..   We use a chart and our rulers to compare fractions . 

Reading: We are studying about  WWII in  Social Studies

Writing:  We are learning how to write lead sentences  using quotes, statistics, bold opinions,  interesting facts and descriptions.
