In the next few weeks we will be studying industrial growth and expansion during the 1800's. According to the New York State Standards, students will use a variety of intellectual skills to demonstrate their understanding of major ideas, eras, themes, developments, and turning points in the history of the United States and New York. We will be focusing on the development of American culture, its diversity, and the way that people are unified by many values, traditions, and practices. For more information on this time period, check out Kidinfo.com.
In this unit, students will research their families' ethnic background and share their customs and traditions with the class. At the end of this unit, we will celebrate with an ethnic festival featuring foods, music, and crafts from many different cultures. Parents and students are encouraged to be a part of the festivities. Feel free to bring in ethnic foods, music, and crafts. This will be a day full of fun to celebrate our familiy hertiage! Look for more information to follow! I look forward to seeing you at our festival!
