Culture
Dear Parents,
This Friday, 13th, children from our class will give a short
presentation about their culture. The
topic areas are:
PLACE, BELIEFS, FOOD,
CELEBRATIONS/TRADITIONS and FAMILY LIFE.
The presentations will be presented as a power point. The students have been practicing in class
what they will say. We have been using
small cards with KEY words on it to help the children remember what to say. Could you please listen to your child present
at home tonight and Thursday night? I
will attach a checklist to use as a guide.
The children are aware of this list.
There will be 5 or 6 students presenting at the same time (4
total groups) – this means the rest of the students and parents will be the
audience for these children. We will
then change the presenting group.
Group 1 – Jeremy, Cordelia, Cindy, Tulio, and Farrah
Group 2 – Trent, Cailey, Paul, Ethan, and Karen
Group 3 – Ashley, Yuzo, Andrew, Derek, Marvin, and Adele
Group 4 – Matthew, Benjamin, Amber T, Chloe, Amber W, and
Ingrid
The presentation will begin at 1:00 and conclude at about
2:00. Some parents have asked how they
can help. Both ways are only
optional. Please do not feel any
pressure.
1.
Your
child could wear their traditional
clothes on this day.
2.
You could bring in a small plate of some
traditional food from your culture.
Again, this is not necessary but if you would like to, or
have the time, it might be nice.
