Taking Notes (Sheets)
|
Parents LetterDear Parents,
We will spend three class periods taking notes, preparing a visual representation of the selected constellation, and writing a short, three paragraph report (see example). Encourage your child to write from the notes that he/she has taken using his/her own words. The final report may be written by hand or typed. These sheets (notes), the final report, and hand made visual must also be turned in on the due date. Please check with your child each evening and give help and direction if you see the need. There are numerous web sites if you would like to use them at home at your discretion. Some links are on the 4th grade blog.
