Winter Project

The class is starting a winter reading and writing project about Multi-Cultural holidays.  We began learning about Hanukkah and Kwanzaa in class today.  The boys will be focusing on Kwanzaa and the girls will be focusing on Hanukkah.  If you have time, please sit down and research these holidays with your child.  We are going to write an informative essay to share, and each child will have a chance to showcase a project such as a poster, a diorama, a painting, a picture, etc.  with the class.  You can use whatever creative outlets you would like, but please stick with your child's holiday.  They knew LOTS about Christmas, some about Hanukkah, and barely anything about Kwanzaa when we began.  By the end of this project your child will be multicultural experts!  A rubric will come home for the project piece next week.  The writing part will take place in class this week.  I have some literature about the holidays, but I want their writing to be diverse. \So if you could send at least one article with your child about their topic to school tomorrow or Thursday, I would greatly appreciate it!
