Dear Parents,

The school-wide Cultural Festival is coming up on Friday, November 16.  Students will be displaying their second home project during this festival.  Individual presentations will be done in class the week of November 12-15.  The theme for this home-project is American History and Independence.   Here are some ideas for this year’s festival: 13 colonies, statue of liberty, liberty bell, the national bird, the history of the flag, Founding Fathers, U.S. presidents, states, Native Americans, Pilgrims, revolutionary war, Declaration of Independence, etc.

Students should find a creative way to share what they have learned with the whole school.  Students will need to have a display for their project.  During the festival students will have the opportunity to visit each classroom and view the presentations prepared by their schoolmates.  Parents will also be invited to come to the festival as well.  I will provide a schedule of individual presentations the week prior to the festival, so students will know when they will be presenting to the class.
