Welcome to Fourth Grade!
Fourth grade is an exciting year for students at TPS as we navigate American history from the Gold Rush to modern day. Our literature selections are linked to our history studies to further develop student understanding of these different American time periods. Our literature list is provided below if you wish to purchase a set of books for use at home.
