December Family Wreath Project
Dear Parents,
This month, your child will be learning about various countries, cultures, traditions, and customs. As our December family project, we would like your family to share some family customs/traditions with our class through the decorating of the attached wreath. All wreaths will be graded for a Social Studies grade. They will be shared and presented in class then displayed in our hall.
The project will need to be completed and returned to school no later than Monday, December 7th.
The wreath can be decorated in any way you would like, but must reflect customs or traditions that your family shares together. Be creative with anything you have around the house like ribbon, glitter, paint, fabric, buttons, noodles, cereal, etc. We hope your family will have fun working together on this project.
The following rubric will be used to grade this project for a social studies grade.
Thank you,
First Grade Teachers
