Mrs. Leaf is missing you during this virtual time. Keep reading. Keep asking questions. Keep learning.
You provide all the info and can print. This site doesn't search for you, but it allows you to put as much or little info as you would like.
A free in-depth search and tree maker. You do need to sign-up with an e-mail account.
A robost family tree maker that offers free and paid versions. You do need to make an account with an e-mail address.
Kindergarten and First Grade students will be bringing home a ziplock bag with 3 people sticks, instructions (suggested) and a plain piece of paper.
Your family tree can be as simple as purely decorating the people, gluing them to the paper, writing first names, and in the bottom corner writing room number or teacher name.
A more in-depth version would be adding a few more members and perhaps a little story or recipe.
An extended version could be a tri-fold poster board with the paper in the middle and many extensions of family.

In any creative, fun and interesting way that your child would like to share their genealogy and culture with our school.
Second and Third Grade students will be bringing home a Ziploc bag with 1 stick person, instructions (suggested), sample letter to a family member, and a plain piece of paper.
Stories enlighten our lives and bring us togetherness, joy and living history. It is for this reason that our second and third graders are being asked to find out stories about their families and include them on a family tree. Like in the book "Flat Stanley" by Jeff Brown, student may mail their "stick them" to a relative and have that relative return the stick person with a story to go on the family tree.
The family tree could be basic: child>mom, dad & a family history story on the white paper with information from the letter sent to a family member included (recipe, story, more of the family tree).
The family tree could be a little more detailed by carrying it further with: child>mom, dad>mom's mom, mom's dad, dad's mom, and dad's dad. & family history stories on the white paper with information from the letter sent to a family member included (recipe, story, more of the family tree)..
An extended version could be a tri-fold poster board with the paper in the middle and many extensions of family and several stories and recipes

Sample of basic (Leaves shown are 2 generations. Should have 3-4 minimum)
Fourth and Fifth graders are bringing home a Ziploc with 1-3 leaves (hole for child's face), 1 plain paper and instructions for creating a Family tree.
As we share our stories with one another we find that we have many of the same likes and dislikes as well as some of the same cultures. In fourth and fifth grade we discuss the difference between emigrant (someone born in a different part of a country that moves to a new part --like the pioneers on the Oregon Trail--4th grade) and immigrant (someone born in a different country and moving to this country-- like the early colonists of the 13 colonies/ early US--5th grade). Whether we are native, emigrants or immigrants our history tells us more about our identity.
The family tree could be basic: child>mom, dad & labeled if Emigrant or Immigrant & a family history story on the white paper.
The family tree could be a little more detailed by carrying it further with: child>mom, dad>mom's mom, mom's dad, dad's mom, and dad's dad. & family history stories, & labeled if Emigrant or Immigrant .
An extended version could be a tri-fold poster board with the paper in the middle and many extensions of family and several stories and recipes & labeled if Emigrant or Immigrant .
