Today the "norm" is the blended family.  Membership in a blended family
can be an enriching experience.  I would not avoid assigning a family
tree project for fourth graders because of possible problems, but would
instead approach it with awareness.  One specific suggestion:  avoid
using printed family tree charts or "fan" charts which don't easily make
allowance for divorces and second marriages,  and instead do a free
form chart with lines and boxes.
