Culture Coat of Arms

In Social Studies, students have begun a project to help them learn more about their own culture. We have defined culture as "a way of life followed by your family". Students have been introduced to six initial aspects of culture (more will be introduced later in the year). 

Language
Beliefs
Food
Clothing
Stories and songs
Types of homes

You can help your child gather ideas for this project by talking about these aspects and also any traditions that are a part of your family culture. They will be working on writing a paragraph about their family in class. In addition, students are being asked to bring a family picture which can be used as one part of the coat of arms. 

Thanks for your help!
