Hello, I am Mrs. Kellar-Jackson. I am the new 4th grade teacher at Harry L. Bain.
In Math, we learn real life applications of our skills. Please help your child by asking a lot of real life math questions throughout the year. For example, as you are at the store buying bananas, you could ask about how many bananas are in a pound, then weigh them and discuss the outcomes.
In reading and writing, we are always working on story comprehension using various methods, so encourage your child to read! For example,we are using Venn Diagrams to compare and contrast things in our stories. Then, we can use that diagram to write a paragraph.
The key to success is to read, read, read? Please support your child's reading in every way possible.
