What's in a Name?
On Monday 4th grade students will begin ELA with a free write about the origin of their name. It can be about first, middle, last, nickname or any combination. They may ask you how their name was chosen or does it have special meaning.
Example: my dad got to choose my name because he was in Vietnam when my older sister was born. My mom chose a name he didn't like, so he got to pick mine. My first name is just a common name, but my middle name is the same as my grandma's first name, my aunt's first name and my mom's middle name.
