Please visit the google docs link that was emailed to families to sign-up. Some dates have already been filled. 

An opportunity to discover more about our classmates as we share books, artifacts, and information that helped to shape our culture, traditions and connect us to…

Where We Are in Place and Time
 
We would love to hear from parents, grandparents, aunts, uncles, and anyone else connected to you! You can choose any date you want. Some months might be special to your family’s heritage. You don’t have to sign-up in order. If you need a different time, list it and I’ll get back to you. Lunch is 12:30-1:20pm, so it can’t be during that time.

Building Bridges

With
Books
 
We are learning about geography and how it impacts the way people live and work. To help us with this unit of inquiry, we have asked our family members to come in and share a book, photos, or artifacts that connect with our culture/traditions.
 
Learning more about each other and the paths that led our families to this community, will help us to:
  • Understand how the place where people live, influences how they live and work.
  • See the relationships between and the interconnectedness of people
