Dear parents,
Black History Report
As part of our Social Studies curriculum we will be covering important African Americans in our past and present during the month of February. For this project I am asking that you go to the library and take out a book on an African American in the fine arts. Someone that has lent their talents to television, movies, or music. This can be any African American from the past or present. Please bring the book in by Thursday January 31st, 2008 for me to approve. Please remember that this is a book report; the Internet is not to be used as a resource for this project (only for the art portion.)
The report must include a biography about the person, the contributions that the person has made, and your child's opinion on the person and the book they have read. The art portion must be stamp commemorating the person. Have your child cut the edges of construction paper. Have your child come up with a quote or something important about that person and write it on the stamp. You should also include the year that the stamp was made (ex: 1968, 1993, 2004.)
This report is due Monday February 11th, 2008. Please have it in on time, for everyday late I will deduct 5 points.
Also, we are in the second half of the school year; please replenish your child's supplies. Pencils, crayons, notebooks, sharpeners, pencil box, etc. I do not have the supplies to give your children everyday, as we do not provide school supplies. Sr. Marie does sell supplies in her office.
Thank You, Mrs. A. Alejandro
