Definition: A periodical publication that appears four times per year.

Alright class, settle down now, let’s take a look! You’ve encountered a word today, “quarterly,” it’s true, And the dictionary gives us a clue. It's about publications, through and through! It says "a periodical publication, four times each year," you see, Let's break that down for you, just listen to me! “Periodical” means something comes around with grace, Like a magazine or newspaper, in its proper place. And “four times per year,” well that’s simple and clear, It happens in quarters – spring, summer, fall, and here! Think of it like dividing the whole year into parts, Four equal chunks, right from the very start. So "quarterly" means something happens every three months, you know, Divided into four sections, a rhythmic flow! Does that make sense to you? Any questions for me?
