Family Tree Project

This year students will be expected to complete a project.  This project will tie into what we are learning in Social Studies and Family Life.  The project is intended to bring the family closer together, and may be completed with help from all family members.  On the day the project is due the student may bring in all the parts to be hung up on our family tree located in the hallway.  Additional items that represent your family may be brought in and added to the tree.  Each family tree will be displayed for one week.  This week is also the students "share" week.  One hundred points will be given in Social Studies if all six items are completed by the due date.
