Grade 5 Heritage Posters Almost Done!

Grade 5's have been working very hard on their heritage posters over the past few weeks.  

While students may receive advice and information about their family tree and history from their parents, students should do the bulk of the work.  

Please do not paste anything to the poster till Monday, March 2nd.  We will have class time to put the parts of the project together in class.  This way I will be able give the final confirmation of the poster's layout.

Here are some samples of what students have done so far:

A family tree, a flag, a map...

Borders, photos, written research about country of origin...

a written story about how our family came to Canadal

Have a great long weekend!

Blessings,

Mr.Wu

Please note that some students may have completed the above homework assignments in class, therefore they may not have any homework written in their planner.  I appreciate parents checking and signing planners on a daily basis.  If you ever feel that your child is doing too little or too much homework, please let me know.  At the Grade 5 level, we think that 45 minutes a night is a recommended guideline.

Thank you,

Mr.Wu
