4th Graders Finding About Family Roots

Students have been assigned to complete a Pilgrim Doll Project. Your child should have brought home a paper explaining this. We hope you got it?!


In class we read the book, Molly's Pilgrim.  In this book, a girl discovers that her mother is considered a Pilgrim because she came to America looking for a new life, even though she came from Russia.
We are asking each student to research an ancestor who has a similar story.  Then, each student is to make a doll representing that family member.  Dolls can be made from a variety of materials, but should not be any larger than  6-7- inches.  We are also requiring that students have a typed or neatly written paragraph about their ancestor to present to the class. Send in the doll and paragraph as soon as possible. We plan to be finished with this project when we leave for Thanksgiving Break.  Thanks for your support and help!
