My World Box!
As
we continue our study of the continents, regions and countries around the
world, we are hoping to find out more about where your relatives or ancestors
came from. This project is your way of
telling us all your connections to places in the world.
OUTSIDE:
Decorate the outside of the shoebox –you
could cover it with plain paper, wrapping paper or paint.
On the cover of the box, put a photo
of yourself or your family, your full name and 4 items, drawings or statements
that give information about you
(ex:
a lego-you love to build legos, a snowflake-you love skiing)
INSIDE:
Put 3 or 4 items (no more please)
inside your box that will tell us about your connections to places outside of
Massachusetts.
Here
are some possibilities for your 3 or 4 items:
*a
photograph of you, a family member, relative or friend living in or visiting
another part of the world.
*A
drawing of a tradition including food, customs, sports, games, art or music
that is related to your family’s heritage
*A
souvenir, photo or postcard from a place you or someone else has visited.
*The
flag of the countries your ancestors or relatives are from
*
The recipe of a traditional food your family makes
*A
map of where your ancestors or relatives are from
*A
folk or fairytale from a country or region that you have connections to
We
can’t wait to see your project and learn more about your connections to other
places in the world! Please bring in
your completed box on or before Monday, January 25, 2016.
Please
let us know if you have any questions
Sincerely,
The
2nd grade team
Note
to families:
The
children will be sharing their projects in small groups and with their 4th
grade buddies. Please have your child practice presenting to you before he/she
brings the project to school.
