Our current
Social Studies topic is “Belonging in My World”.
Students will
develop an understanding of and
appreciation
for how identity and self-esteem are
enhanced by a
sense of belonging and how active members in a community contribute to the
well-being, growth and vitality of their groups and communities.
Following
please find two activities requiring your help from home.
1. Family first
shapes our identity. Please send in something from home that tells about your
family. It could be a special recipe, a picture, an artifact from your cultural
background or something that shows a special interest your family shares. We
will have a daily “Sharing Time” during the week of October 15 – 19th.
2. Belonging to
a group outside the family also helps to shape our identity. If your child has
an item that would represent a group they belong to, it could be brought in for
their “Sharing Day” during the week of October 22 – 26th.
Some suggestions
- dance-group apparel/photos
- sports or club uniform/photos
- group logos, symbols, badges
- activities they enjoy like
collecting things, drawing, bike riding, swimming, reading, family activities.
If
you have any questions, please feel free to contact me.
