Homework for the WEEK of 4/25

Sharks, Barracudas, and Stingrays have a week long project.
The goal of the project is to discover how immigration has affected students.
The assignment is to interview three family members from an older generation and complete two charts that the students have been given.
One of the charts asks if they know of any family members who have immigrated to the US within the last 130 years.
I have a bet going with the kids that if they can prove that ALL of their ancestors have been in the US for more than 130 years I'll buy them a candy bar of their choice.
Students need to get a parental signature so that I know they have completed three interviews and they need to fill out the forms as completly as possible.

***I have extended the due date for this project until Monday May 2nd in order to give some kiddos time to get the required interviews***
