Dear Families,
In social studies, the next few months will focus on family history. As part of this unit, students will be asked to develop a family heritage book. Students will gather information for their project at home, and then will have time to complete and assemble the project in class.
To make this large project manageable, parts will be assigned at different times. This project is an opportunity for students to explore and learn about their heritage while meeting the district Social Studies Standards.
According to the History Social Science Framework For California Schools Public Schools, “In Standard 2.1, students develop a beginning sense of history through the study of the family—a topic that is understandable and interesting to them.”
