Our class is beginning the theme, “My Family”.  During the next few weeks, we will be exploring the different members of families, family roles, and unique qualities of families.  This theme is all about you, so here are some ways you can support what your child will be learning at home.

*Look at family photos with your child and talk about family members and their special qualities.

* Share special family traditions and how they began.

* Enjoy a family activity with your child, such as cooking, reading together, or playing a game.

* Talk about family roles and responsibilities and choose one or two ways in which your child can help other family members.

Throughout the My Family theme, we will be teaching children about kindness and what they can do to express kindness to others. You can help by identifying examples of kind acts at home and when you go places. Enjoy talking and spending family time with your child!

Literacy Tip

Reading bedtime stories to your child every night can become a special family tradition while also helping your child build a lifelong love of reading and learning.

Home/School Connections

In social studies, we will learn about similarities and differences among people, so your child will appreciate that we live in a diverse world.
