Embedded Files
Writing will happen most days in class. Students will have anywhere from 15 - 45 minutes of school time each day to work on writing projects. Often writing assignments are given on Tuesdays so students will spend an extended amount of time on Wednesday to work on it with their parent. When an assignment is given on a Thursday, if it is extensive, the student usually has until the following Tuesday to turn it in.
Students still need guidance and help in grade 4. Parents will need to assist their student in areas of greatest need. Usually this is in the prewrite and the revision and editing process. Checklists and models are given for student and parent use.
On this page you will find the access to all the major wiring assignments given.
