I just wanted to give you all a heads up about a new project students will be doing in social studies (due next week-exact date will be found on the homework calendar soon) called the Artifact Project.
Your students will be coming home with some ideas on what they could do their project on, but it would be wonderful if you could brainstorm with them tonight what kinds of artifacts (or historical family items) you may know about. Today in social studies class, I had students navigate the web page that I created for the project, and I'm hoping that this will be helpful to them so they know what is expected from this project. This will be their first graded assignment that will count towards the semester grade (so they are a bit nervous about it). If you wish to have a look at the web page click here.
These are a lot of fun to see in the end! I'll add some photos up on my teacher page in the end. I hope this allows you all to talk with your child about something you've held onto through the years, a memory, or perhaps even a treasured item passed down through your family.
