Dear Parents / Guardians:

 

Mike Mountain Horse is doing a school wide Canada 150 celebration at the end of May.  There will be a performance by each grade level and a project based learning gallery walk taking place around the school.

The grade three project is going to center around Canada being a multicultural country with heritages tied to many different countries.  In preparation for the project that your child will be working on please go through your family’s ancestry with your child.

We are looking for the students to know their cultural makeup in relation to where their ancestors originated from.  For example, if their ancestry comes from Ukraine on their mother’s side and England on their father’s side.  Please fill in the attached family tree with your child where you will write in the heritage and country of origin for great grandparents and grandparents. 

Please return the completed family tree to school on Monday, May 1^st.

Your child will be researching the country/countries of their heritage to create a project to display during the Canada 150 school wide celebration on Wednesday, May 31.

 

Thank you for taking the time to do this to make our Canada 150 project a success.

 

Sincerely,

Grade 3 Team
