Hello Parents/Guardians,

We have 5 home projects for this school year. Each grade level will have a different project. Below is the explanation for the home project due in the month of October. I will send home a paper explaining all of the home projects for the school year with your child today. You can also access this information on the top of this page under the tab titled home projects.

First graders will create a timeline of their life in book form. They will need a page for each year of their life and will label each page with that particular year. On each page, they will need to attach a photo that was taken during that year. Under each photo, they will need to write a sentence or more about that year in their life. They will need to design a cover for their book.

Second graders will be doing a project on fundamental human needs.  They may research those needs in one of two ways. The first is to research a certain need (communication, transportation, etc) and learn how mankind has met this need through time. For example, if a student is researching transportation, they can report on the advancement from walking to riding animals to creating machines like cars, trains, and planes. The other method of research is to pick a civilization and time period, for example, Ancient Egypt. The student would then research how this group of
people met four of the fundamental human needs.

Third graders will choose a dinosaur or other prehistoric animal to research and present. They need to explain what time period the animal lived, where on the Earth it lived, what it ate, and other interesting facts. They may present this as creatively as they wish.
