Little Project for Social Studies.

Dear families,

We are starting a fun project on heritage to build on the family tree that was sent home a few weeks ago.

Each student will make a paper person dressed in a traditional or national costume. Students may pick any country that appears in their family tree. For example, Mme Paré’s heritage is British, Hungarian, Canadian, and Jamaican. Mme Paré might choose to make a Hungarian costume.

This work will be done at school. However, I am asking families to help students to identify what the costume looks like and to then collect materials that can be glued onto a paper cut-out.

These materials (e.g. googly eyes, tissue paper, sequins, ribbon, fabric, yarn for hair, lace etc.) need to come to school next week please; by Monday if possible. Please take time to look at costumes on the Internet or family photos.

Thank you,

Mme Paré.
