Copy of what was sent home is below:
Your child will be coming home with Chapter 1 Vocab./Questions that they have completed and checked in class. I ask that you have your child review and study them this evening for our Test tomorrow. We have been studying Chapter 1 for over two weeks now, so I expect that the students will do superb on the Test!
In Chapter 1 we learned about History and why it is important to study and document it. We will soon be starting Chapter 2, which emphasizes places and geography of the United States. To merge these two chapters we will be completing a timeline of the “HISTORY OF ME”. Today in class we discussed time lines and started a rough draft of our assignments.
In class, we will be discussing places in the United States and where each of us has traveled. I ask that you sit down with your child and discuss where they have been in the United States as well as their own personal history. While discussing this it would be a great time to show your child photos that they could include in their timeline.
I understand as a parent you are hesitant to allow your fifth grader to glue a photo of your treasured memories to an assignment. I also don’t want to be held responsible if it gets ripped, bent or tattered between school and home. So I ask you to please make photo copies or copies of the originals to be sent to school. CVS and Walgreens can duplicate photos for cents on the dollar!
Attached is a copy of the rubric as well as the assignment expectations. I appreciate your help in educating your child about the United States Geography as well as their own personal history. As always, if you have any questions or concerns please feel free to contact me at pembley@reddschool.com.
