Social Studies project - picture/photo request (optional)

As part of our studies in Social Studies, students are exploring who they are now in order to explore and compare with changes that have happened to them in the past.  Please see curriculum newsletter for further details.

They will be completing their own page(s) in their creative journals on the following topics:

- my family
- groups I belong to (soccer, choir, Girl Guides, Scouts, church, etc.)
- my favorite animals, color, food
- something I don't like

If you wish to add to this project you may want to provide your child with one or some of the following (this is optional):

A small picture of your child
A small picture of the family
A picture, magazine cutout or photo of something from the above list

Students will be drawing, writing and reflecting on these subjects using prompts and activities about how the present relates to things in the past in their personals lives and family histories.  We will be using the story of their names (remember this homework assignment from September?) to start this discussion. 

The picture below shows all these topics together to give you ideas - students will be creating their own format and pages to reflect the same information in their own way (and with more space!)

Thanks for your support.
