Dear Parents,
Your students have been given information about History Fair. They will be doing an exhibit only. I have encouraged the students to choose Florida/ Jacksonville History topic. The theme is "rights and responsibilities". It would be great to choose a Black History Topic or Women's History Topic from Florida or Jacksonville. This way the students can visit actual historical sites in the area for primary sources. They can get information on how to do the project at www.NHD.org
I hope to have a timeline for the project soon!
This nine weeks will go fast as we wing our way through India, China and Greece/ Rome.
