4th Grade Weekly Lessons
May 11 - May 15
Welcome back to Distance Learning.
If we were together in school we'd be sure to get outside as often as we can, so please try to do the same! Let us know what kinds of fun things you're up to. Have you been fishing? Are you planting a garden? Are you teaching your pets new tricks? Make time for fun!
This week's activities are outlined below. You can choose the order that you complete them. Please reach out with any questions you have!

We will move to a Tic-Tac-Toe board to finish out math for the year.

When you've finished, fill out the form to tell me what you did.
