100th Day - see note glued in Agenda.
We will spend the week prior to 100th day on many different activities.  Please make sure to have the 100 items to school by February 4.  If you have any questions, please let me know.  Items need to all be the same and need to be small enough to put 10 in one part of an egg carton.

Social Studies – My Family Collage/PowerPoint

Dear Grade One Parents:

We are studying about very important people in our lives – Our Family!

The My Family unit gives the students opportunities to learn how families are alike, how families are different and how families change.  I will be making a family collage or power point myself to show to the students also.

I’d like to keep this simple for parents so please choose ONE of the following:

Collage - a collage or about your family.  I have sent the students home with a piece of paper.

Power point – for you techno parents!  It may be easier to put together a Powerpoint or DVD to show us!  Please make sure to work with your child if you choose to do this.  Discuss the pictures that are selected and what you could say about each photo or add captions to the photos.

Family Album – if you are a scrapbooker or just up on your organization of photos, send a photo album you already have made!  Just make sure it has captions or journaling that describes the people in the photos.

ALL projects should show most of the following things:

-who the people are in your family?  (immediate, step-parents,  step-siblings, grandparents, aunts/uncles if you wish)

-who lives in your house and who might live somewhere else?

-where do you live?  Farm, acreage, village, etc

-activities your family enjoys together

-family traditions

-favorite foods, TV shows, games, etc

-your house, your pets

-vacation photos!

Please write your family name on the collage and label the people in the picture.  You can also write a caption about the events if you wish.  I have a attached an example of what your collage might look like.  I would like these to start coming back to school after the February Break and no later than the end of February  please!

Thanks!      Mrs. Burzynski
