Dear Parents and Caregivers,

Our class will be studying ________________________________________________________ during the next few weeks. Students will conduct primary source research by interviewing people at school, at home, and/or in the community. They will be learning not only about various traditions and how people learned them and practice them; they will also be learning to ask good questions, listen well, take notes, follow up on interesting points or missing information, follow directions and a sequence, and behave politely. Students may want to interview you, another family member, or a community member. They must get permission of those they interview to share the results. Finally, they will compile their research and develop a final product and be graded on both.

Please contact me with any questions you may have about this project.

Thank you,

(Teacher's name)
