From Our Room Mothers Jaida and Sarah:
Hello parents,
Upcoming in November:
Students will do a home project for November that focuses around family and history. Projects will be shared on November 20th in the afternoon.
Level 1 project: Interview a grandparent or great-grandparent about their life. I will post questions to ask, but you are welcome to help your first grader write their own. If no grandparents or great-grandparents exist, have your child interview a neighbor, aunt/uncle, family friend etc. (Just not mom or dad).
Level 2 project: Ancestor/Genealogy project. Students will make a family tree poster and present their posters to the class. Please have your child understand who they are talking about. They don’t have to know everything about that family member, but I would hope they would know their name.
Level 3 project: Family Recipe project. 3rd grade students will need to ask their family members if they have a passed down recipe or special/favorite item that gets made for Thanksgiving or special family events. Students will learn to make that recipe at home and bring into class to share. I would like 3rd graders to share the lineage from the recipe (a report on who started the recipe, how many times it has been passed down etc.) If your family doesn’t have a passed down recipe, find one together and maybe start one for your family! Example: if your child chooses a green bean casserole recipe, then have him/her write about the history behind the green bean casserole). Really do involve your child in the cooking process. Definitely have your child read the recipe, find the measurement tools, do the measuring for you. You are acting as a safety measure and guide.
