Today, I sent home a Social Studies assignment titled the "Artifact Project". Please check your child's school bag if they haven't shared this news with you. I'd like you to assist your child in choosing an artifact that has been in your family and has a story to tell. The work for this project will be done at home. Your child will need help in choosing an interesting artifact, writing a brief description of it on the index card I provided, and rehearsing his or her (1-3 minute) oral presentation. If the artifact is extremely valuable, your child may bring in a picture of it for their report rather than the actual object. The artifact will only be on display for the day that your child is doing the presentation. Look for the presentation date at the bottom of your child's notice.
If you need further clarification after reading the assignment sheet, feel free to email me or talk to me at school.
Best wishes,
Mrs. Gerri Karr
