We have been exploring our own personal histories the past couple weeks and will continue to do so until the end of the year. Until now we have mostly been hearing from guests about the different ways they document their personal histories.
Many students in our class were inspired by our guest speakers and have brought in their own forms of documentation. Many others have started making things at home to document their lives. Thank you to all the support at home in helping your child take action!

We will now be looking at our lives even deeper in class, and your child will begin thinking of artifacts that tell his life story. He will begin making a list of artifacts that he would like to bring in to class. These might include such things as photos, cultural items, tickets or mementos. We would like to keep these artifacts in our room for a couple weeks, but please rest assured that they will make their way home before the year is out!! We would so appreciate your help in this area. Your child will be the one in charge of determining what he feels is important in telling his life story; he may just need your assistance in collecting particular items. As this project progresses, please email me with any questions you might have.
