SOCIAL STUDIES PROJECT.

My Community

Dear Parents,

First grade has been learning about the community. Their project is to build a diorama showcasing a community. This will be due on Monday October 7, 2013. Remember, in a community, you find buildings, plants, animals and people.

This project will be marked out of 30. Points will be given for content (5), creativity (5), overall neatness (5), aesthetics /finished (5) and presentation (10). ( Rubric will be sent home)

The word diorama refers to a three-dimensional model. One of the great things about a diorama is the variety of ways to display it. The display is part of the fun and appeal of a diorama. Get creative and have fun! I can’t wait to see what your child will come up with.

   NB. Please help your child collect a variety of seeds for the Science Seeds Project coming soon.
