Mrs. Bible's Third Grade

Social Studies - American Hero Project

 

On Friday, January 10th, students will begin their American Hero to project.  They will have necessary papers that are to be completed in the next month.  Students are to keep all papers in their green project folders.  Students know that they will only receive one copy of their papers so it is extremely important they stay very organized.  Students will be working on their projects daily in school and at home to meet deadlines.  The project folders will go home nightly and must be returned every day to keep students on track with this project.

 

The American Heroes Project consists of researching their American Hero and completing a packet, writing a speech (to be done at school), and then "becoming" their American Hero where they will take part in a wax museum close to the end of the third quarter where parents, students and other faculty members will attend.  Research will begin as soon as students choose their heroes on Friday, January 10th.  Due dates are given for each page of the American Hero project packet to help keep students on track.  The research will be worked on both at school and at home.  Research is to be completed by February 8th.  The wax museum will take place on Tuesday, March 5th.  If I see that students are needing more time to complete their projects, then we will be able to extend it a few days. 

Here you will be able to find attachments for PROJECT DUE DATES.  Students will have copies of these papers in their project folders too.  Everything else that your child will need for the project will be found in their project folders beginning Friday, January 10th.

 

I know this project is a big undertaking but the kids love it and the end results are always amazing!  Please feel free to ask questions if the information your child is bringing home is not clear.  Thank you, in advance, for ALL OF YOUR SUPPORT.  You have all been a tremendous help this year!
