We had been home from vacation for a couple weeks when our teachers gave us an assignment. We had joined the school Sam and Jake went to right after we got back from vacation. We were asked to create a family tree Tommy explained that a family tree isn't a real tree we all giggled at that. The teacher said we could do the tree in any way we wanted.
We were given a list of things to ask our parents or grand parents. We also had to interview a family member who had done something interesting and see if we were related to anyone famous. When I got home that afternoon I showed mommy my project sheet she asked how do you want to do your tree.
I told her I would have to think about it and let her know the next afternoon when she picked up Susie Sam Zack Jake Kate and I up from school. The next day we talked about our projects Sam said her mommy was helping her create a tree made of Popsicle sticks with tiny picture frames Jake and his Mommy were making a tree out of felt and Beads. Zack hadn't decided yet Neither had Tommy or Dill Kai was using paper and colored pens his family would be represented as different animals. Kya was making a tree on a huge piece of fabric with fruit for the family members.
Chuckie's was going to be hand prints on a large piece of poster board while Kimi's would look like a Japanese cherry blossom tree it would be made of clay. Phil and Lil were still thinking Kate was going to decorate a piece of material with a maple tree design. Susie was working on a tree made up to look like dummy bear characters Min Jun and JiYeon were not 100% sure what they were doing yet.
When mommy picked us up from school we headed to the craft store where I decided to make a Disney themed tree out of poster paper paint and pencils while zack grabbed fabric and fabric paint to create his tree we then headed to my apartment where mommy helped us get set up at the kitchen table with our art supplies so we could start creating the tree.
When we got to school the next morning Tommy and Dill showed us the base for there family trees Tommy's was dinosaur themed while Dill's was alien themed. Phil showed us his bug themed tree While Lil had one with Hearts and stars. Min Jun had created a paw patrol themed tree While JiYeon's was ocean themed. We worked on a list of questions for the interview portion of our project.
That afternoon My mommy picked me up a little early so we could drive out to visit my great aunt who was a famous violinist at one point she was one of my famous people for part 3 of the project. We then went home so mommy could help me put people where they belonged on the tree she showed me a picture of a tree she and my grandma had made as a reference. She showed me how about 10 generations back we were related to former first lady Eleanor Roosevelt and by relation her husband Franklin Roosevelt and her Uncle Teddy Roosevelt. We then worked on getting questions for my interview with her cousin who was a very important lady in our home state she was whats called a congress woman I'm not sure what that is but she sounded important. The next morning which was a Saturday all my buddies came over with there projects so we could work I had my interview recorded and just had to write it out and then finish putting people on my tree the rest of the gang was about as far as I was.
When we got to school on Monday we went to all school assembly and shared our projects I talked about my 2nd cousin the congress woman and my great aunt the violin player I also showed how my family was related to 2 former presidents.
We enjoyed learning about each others family's and listening to the interviews and famous family members we couldn't wait to see what would come next.
