Families,
We will start a new unit in Social Studies this week. The unit is titled Ways of Living. The students will learn about customs, culture, immigrant, ancestor, creating a timeline, and America's symbols. They will create a timeline of their own life. In order to do this each student will need to bring in a baby picture by Thursday. It can be a copy of the picture or I can make a copy of the original. They will create a timeline starting with their birthdate and continue on through the present date. The baby picture can be an infant picture or a picture within the first year of their life to start off their timeline. I will give the students the choice to use pictures for the rest of their timeline or create illustrations. If your child would like to bring in photos to represent significant events that happend in their life they may do so. Please keep in mind that these photos will be glued or taped to their timeline. If there are any questions or concerns feel free to email me or write me a note in your child's planner.
