For the past couple of weeks we have been working on our Heritage Project. You or a family member should have been interviewed and asked about your family tree. I appreciate you working with your children to give them as much information as possible (ask them to see their family tree online, we work with a program called www.familyecho.com. This week they will recall a family story and write their family stories in their journal. They will again be coming to you to ask you to clarify the family story and elaborate or tell a new story. We will compile all of the information into one project and present the project when they return from winter break. 
As well as working on their Heritage Project part of the class, they are also reading from Achieve 3000 (a program on their chromebook.) Last week we read articles about heritage. They typically will read one I have chosen for them as one that they chose form themselves. 
If you have time, ask your children about their Heritage Project :) 
I will update the gradebook by Monday. The gradebook will reflect, their interviews, their family tree, their vocabulary and a reflection of their goal setting poster (that we made a few weeks back.)
