In Social Studies, we have been talking about the big idea--HOW DO PEOPLE CHANGE COMMUNITIES? We began by talking about the immigrants and refugees who have helped make Fargo-Moorhead a diverse community, but I wanted to take it a step further. I asked each of the students to come home and ask about their background--where did the generations before them immigrate from? The students LOVED this!
Our class has ancestors from the following countries:
Denmark
Somalia
France
Canada
Bohemia
Finland
Russia
Bosnia
Germany
England
Phillipines
Vietnam
Italy
Sweden
Norway
Croatia
Poland
American Indian
French Candadian
The kids came back with stories about their great-grandparents. Some brought pictures and a few more even brought memorabilia! It was SO cool!
