 The children are currently focused on the differences between needs and wants. The final project for this work is for each student to choose a country or time period to explore.  They will then show examples of the different needs of their chosen culture: food, shelter, clothing, transportation, defense, religion, beauty and ornamentation, communication, and music and dance.  These projects may include art projects, reports, presentations or any other way to share their information.  These projects should be worked on from now until the end of the year.  Please encourage your child to take his/her time on this valuable work.
