As we learn about immigration, we're discovering that our families came to America from many different countries. Each student is researching a country from his or her heritage.
We're using books, maps and technology to find out about the culture, the region, the flag and other cool facts!
Students with the same heritage are researching together.
Today we finished our ancestor dolls. They are clothed in traditional dress from their countries.
We'll be watching the movie Molly's Pilgrim,
next week. This Academy Award Winning
Short Film inspired this project.
Along with our heritage, we've learned a bit about out extended families. Our FAMILY TREE project showed how families branch out but are connected by roots. Many children were surprised to see the visual comparison of each side of their families.
Here's a song we learned from Tom Chapin about Family Trees.
