Hello, kids! Welcome to class. Today, we will take a tour of Knoxville, our city. As we go, we will be discussing proper nouns.

As you all know, my name is Ms. Hicks, and I am your teacher at Knox County Elementary. I live in Knoxville, TN, but I grew up in Crossville, TN.

This is my dog, Miss Daisy. I adopted her from Young-Williams Animal Shelter. She is my best friend! We like to explore Knoxville together.

This is the Sunsphere in Knoxville. If you go all the way to the top, you can see the whole city!

The Sunsphere was built for the World's Fair in 1982. It is located in World's Fair Park.

This is Pat Head Summitt. She was the basketball coach for the Lady Vols.

Before her death, she won the most games in her league. She was from Clarksville, TN.

Nikki Giovanni is another famous person from Knoxville. She is a famous poet and songwriter.

She has published many books of poems. My favorite is The Sun Is So Quiet.

This is Market Square. There is so much to do here! My favorite thing to do in Market Square is to eat at the restaurant, Cafe 4.
