Welcome to our fourth
grade newsletter!

Attention:
We are starting our new
English and language arts
project!
Project Overview
This is a unit on fourth grade English language arts. The
students will be working in groups of 4-5. The students will
develop their own fictional stories in a genre that is chosen

while another group might have science fiction. This story

host a parent night where students will showcase their
works. Each play should be approximately 15 minutes long.
And the overall project will take approximately two months
to complete.
