Ancient Civilizations and Chocolate:)

This year marks the 100th year that Campus School has been open! In celebration, a reception inviting students, teachers, and friends - both from today and days gone by - will take place on Friday, September 23rd. To help make this special occasion even more memorable, we are all going "back in time," to pay tribute to where we have come from! Our class has been assigned the years 1921-1930. Your child received a set of detailed instructions on blue paper, that describes his/her part in this project. Please be aware that this project is due next Friday, September 9. Students will be responsible for researching one of the following: music from the time period, historical events, media, or costs of living. (Each student will randomly pick out of a hat tomorrow afternoon). After researching, students will be required to create a one paragraph narrative, as well as one artifact. The "rough draft" of the narrative should return to school on Friday ready to be published - this means that they will need some editing and revising assistance from you! :-) Students can create more than one artifact if they choose to do so, however, they need to be of "museum quality." The artifacts may be printed, hand drawn, or a combination of both. Remember, please have your child's narrative "publishing ready," on Friday, as we will be completing the final touches to our projects during the school day.
Don't forget that our class' first Family Gathering will be the Cenntenial Celebration, Friday, September 23rd. We will have two performances, one in the morning and one in the afternoon!:)
