Social Studies-Inquiry into our families and heritage

We have begun our social studies unit on family and heritage! The kindergarten and first grade students have designed their family trees and shared great family stories with each other. The older students are working hard on gathering lots of information about their family history and they are all working on creating their own family trees on ancestry.com's web site. Any information you can give your child about family birthdates, death dates, birth places, maiden names, etc. is very helpful when using ancestry.com. Also, you are all welcome to use Mrs. Clifton's login information to create/update a family tree with your child at home. The web site is http://www.ancestry.com/. The login is Lriley156 (case sensitive) and the password is xj9j6m2 (also case sensitive). It is amazing the kind of original documents that they will find for you on this site so have fun searching!
