Fourth Grade Happenings

Thanks to all of you who were able to attend Parent Night! The PowerPoint presentation was sent to everyone via email - please let me know if you did not receive it. Working together will definitely make this year one to remember! This week the students will begin learning all about famous Tennesseans. Monday your child will be assigned a person to begin researching. Use this week to help your child find materials on their famous Tennessean. By Wednesday students will be required to have read about, and bring in at least two research materials from different sources (i.e. articles from different Internet sites, books from the library, encyclopdia excerpts, etc.). This Wednesday the students will begin to write narratives based on the research they have conducted this week. Please help your child read and outline/highlight important facts they can use when writing their narratives in class.
