Social Studies:  This week, students will identify features of Chicago that make it culturally diverse, and focus on the different celebrations and traditions that help define Chicago as a leading cultural center.  Activities will also focus on the neighborhoods that make up Chicago, and students will explore how these neighborhoods reflect the city's history.
