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***

Possible homework due Monday 4/18
This week Sharks, Barracudas, and Stingrays have been working on maps of US immigration. The maps and the assessment for the maps are due on Monday April 18th. Most students were able to finish these in class but there are a few who were not able to. This whole assignment makes for a large grade so you might want to ask if your child has turned it in already. Piranhas only started this project on Friday so they have no homework this weekend.

Homework due 4/8
Sharks, Barracudas and Stingrays have homework due on Friday April 8th. They have a KWL sheet that should list at least 4 facts they have learned about Napoleon Bonaparte over the last three days. Tomorrow they need to turn in a paragraph that discusses at least four of those facts. The paragraph must be a complete and proper paragraph i.e. it must have an introductory sentence, four sentences that make up the body (the four facts in sentence form) and a concluding paragraph. It does not matter in what format I recieve this paragraph (written, typed, email etc.) There is no homework for Barracudas.

Back from Break
We are returning from Spring Break and I hope it was relaxing for everyone. The week of 4/4-4/8 we will be finishing up the French Revolution and starting in on American Immigration just after. This will lead the 6th grade into the annual Immigration Day which we do with the 2nd grade. The date for this will be decided soon. Outdoor Education is also coming up (April 20-22) so if you have any questions or concerns lets us know soon.
