International Week Third Grade Project
CANADA
Dear parents,
Our third grade class is researching the country of Canada for International Week. We will be learning about various topics related to the country in class, as well as creating a few art projects.
For the at home project portion, all students will need to present one topic. They will need an empty cereal box to complete this project. Please read the directions for the construction of the cereal box project below very carefully and let me know if there are any questions. Students can choose one of the following topics to present about:
1) Geography 7) Government
2)Masjids 8)Cultural Activities
3) Art/Architecture
9) Kids’ lives in Canada (what do they do for fun, etc.)
4) Sports 10) Religion
5) Clothing 11) Historical Facts
6) Important Landforms
Cereal Box Project Directions:
1) Choose one of the topics above to research. Find at least 4 pictures and facts about the topic.
2) Cut the front cover of the cereal box on three sides (top, right, and bottom). This leaves the left side still attached and it will become the cover that will be a flap that you can open to look inside.
3) Cover the cereal box with construction paper, wrapping paper, etc.
4) On the cover, Write the title of the topic you are presenting and glue or draw a few pictures to decorate the outside of the box. Make sure your name is on the front as well. MAKE IT LOOK NICE!!!
5) Inside the cereal box, once you open the cover, you will put pictures of your topic and write details about each topic on paper or an index card, and glue everything down. For example – you can find and print a picture of the CN Tower, and next to it write down information you learned about the tower.
6) You should have at least 4 different facts/pictures inside the box.
This project is MANDATORY and will be assigned a large grade for Social Studies.
It is due NEXT WEDNESDAY, December 18th. It can be handed in BEFORE that as well.
Students will be PRESENTING their project to the class. SO please make sure they know what they are writing down and can explain everything in their own words. This will be part of the grade.
Thank you,
-Sr. Nadia
