Family is Everything
NOVEMBER
Our first activity for our One School, One Book project will be to explore your family heritage. Family is so important and knowing where your family came from can help you understand who you are. This month as you get together with your family fill out our Family Heritage Activity that is linked below.
Family Heritage Activity
Students please create a GoodNotes folder called Three Stars in the Night Sky and add this document to it. Please take time to talk to your family and find out where you came from. Fill out as much information as you possibly can! |
One School, Many Cultures
DECEMBER
This month our students will add to a series of collaborative murals that will make up the culture of our school. The first collaborative mural the students will place a pin on a world map of where their eldest ancester is from. The second collaborative mural the students will create a circle that represents important parts of their families culture. The last mural will be a collection of our students eyes to show how we accept everyone no matter who they are and where they come from. The mural represents how our eyes are our window to the world!
One School, One Book
JANUARY
This month our students will read our book Three Stars in the Night Sky by Fern Schumer Chapman. They will complete discussion questions and activities to gain a deeper understanding of the damage of racism that took place in Nazi Germany, Dominican Republic and the United States during the 1930's and 40's. The students will also learn about what a refugee is and the refugee crisis that still exisits today. The students will end our project by meeting the author and hearing directly about her mother's experiences from the Holocaust.
