Social Studies Research Project Due March 5th

Dear Parents,

As we come to an end on our Social Studies unit of Historical Figures, students will be required to complete a research project using the skills already introduced and practiced in a previous unit. Your child will be allowed to pick one of the historical figures listed below to research. Students are encouraged to use additional sources as well (public library and internet). The project will be presented in the form of a Timeline and  must be kid created.

Projects are due on:  March 5th

The project must include the following information: name and picture of the Historical Figure, date when he/she was born, when and what made them a  Historical Figure, one interesting fact, and date of when he/she died. Your child will be expected to know the information and present it clearly to the class. If you have any questions, please contact your child’s teacher. We hope you and your child will enjoy working on this project together. We look forward to seeing all presentations.

Thank you,

First Grade Team
