Dear Parents,
In our Social Studies Unit we are discussing landmarks in
the United States. The students are very
excited about the subject so I wanted to have them do a project about a
Landmark. Your student has chosen a
landmark that they are to research and present to the class.
I have enclosed a large white paper with lines. This paper needs to include a drawing of the landmark along with 5
important facts. You may use books or
the Internet. The landmark needs to be
hand drawn and full of color. I always
tell the students there should not be any white spaces. I understand that we are not all artists so
they need to do the best that they can.
That is what makes the project original.
The writing needs to be handwritten in the student’s best writing. I would like the writing to be printed. In the past I have made student books and I
enjoy looking back at these projects. I
am intending on using these book for future reference.
The second part of the project is to make a 2D or 3D
landmark that the students will share with the class. They are to be as creative as they can. You may use clay, modge podge, beads,
toothpicks, playdoh, paper, wood or any other items that will help make the
project creative.
The students are extremely excited about this project and in
looking at our calendar I want to give you enough time to complete the
assignment. The assignment will be due
on Thursday, April 30th giving the students 2 weekends to complete the
assignment.
Your child has chosen the landmark
____________________________________________________
It will be a big part of your student’s Social Studies grade. Any assignments turned in late will be graded
accordingly. I understand that this time
of year can be very busy with school, sports and other activities so please
starts as soon as you can on this project.
Your child has already been brainstorming different ideas about the
project. If you have any questions
please do not hesitate to ask.
Religion - Chapter 13 Follow the Church
Science - We have began a new chapter which will be Ch. 1 in the extension chapter. It is how Living things depend on one another.
Thank you and please feel free to let me know if you have any questions. God Bless You!!
If you have read the BLOG please have your child write one fact about their landmark project in the social studies column of their planner. Thank you
