Update for 8/31

Dear Parents,

       Please come to Curriculum Night tomorrow (9/1) at 6:00 or 6:45 to find out more about our classroom procedures and the topics we will be studying this year with your student!  When you sign your child's agenda tonight, you will see that we will need posters for our Roots of Democracy project by this Wednesday if you can.  Your student will be working with a partner in class creating this project for the next few days.  Also, we have a Week 3 math handout that is due Thursday.  Below are the instructions for the poster project that we will be working on in class:

SS3G1.c: Poster

Your teacher has asked you and your partner to design an informational poster entitled “Roots of Our Democracy.” Your teacher has requested that the poster board be divided into 3 sections.

 

      The first section should include an illustration of the three branches of government, a description of each branch, as well as titles of jobs held within each branch. The branches should contain titles and a description of the duties of the three branches.

 

     The second section should contain illustrations and labels of buildings in Washington, D.C. that show the Greek influence of architecture in those buildings. You should explain how our government buildings design is connected to ancient Greece.

 

     The third section will have a map of the world (the teacher will give you a blank map). The map should have Greece, the equator, Prime Meridian, lines of latitude, and lines of longitude labeled. The teacher would like for you to design a model of the bulletin board on poster paper. Be prepared to present your bulletin board to the class and include an explanation of why the separation of branches exists. You should make your poster colorful, informative, and eye catching!!
