It's Project Homework Time!!!

Happy Winter Break Prairie Racerunner Families. 

I hope that you are staying healthy, getting some good rest and enjoying time together. Check out our 1st Project Homework of the Year! This balmy 45 degree weather is rare, but in case you forgot what snow looks like here is a glimpse from early December!

See you soon! - Ms. Brooke

Project Homework: Generation Study

Prairie Racerunners – Winter 2011

This semester students have been studying their community. They have discussed, illustrated, read and pondered about who they are in their school, home and local community.  As apart of this exploration it is important for students to understand who they are and where they have come from – and how this influences our community today. Over the Winter Holiday you will have an opportunity to visit specifics from your family’s culture. Please choose one of the following areas (or all) to discuss. Then in January please work on a display for your child to share with the class. You may choose to make a poster, a photo book, a family written book or, if you are braver than me, a video!

Choose a topic:  clothing, sports, food, housing, travel, manners

Discuss what this looked like across the generations: child, parents, grandparents etc.

Create a display: poster, photo book, family written book, movie, or something of your family’s choosing

Due Date: Monday, January 16^th.

Mark Your Calendar: The first Friday in January please plan on coming to G.D. to read your child's partner book as well as the book they authored. It is sure to be a fun "read in" afternoon.
