Social Studies

                                                                                           
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 September 16 – 19^th.

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 September 23 – 27^th.
