Weekly Topic: All About Me

Inquiry and Research Question:

What makes me special?

This week is all about what makes each of us unique – what are our special attributes and talents, and what makes us who we are? As we continue to build our classroom community, we will invite each friend to come up to the front of the class and share something special about themselves. We hope to see our friends point out their special attributes, or show off their unique talents for the group. After we read Only One You, by Linda Kranz, we will investigate the unique nature of our finger/hand prints

by creating beautiful works of art.

• Please check and make sure to complete and return papers in your child's green folder -
• Please label water bottles and backpacks - Water only in water bottles please
• Please send in backpack daily with green folder, changes of clothes, diapers/pulls-up/wipes if needed.

As we begin planning some of our upcoming lessons, we would love to incorporate our students’ families into our classroom learning! Please send in a family photo.
We will use these photos to help create meaningful opportunities for the children to talk about their families, make connections, and celebrate the people who are important to them.

You can send them to your teachers email or myself. I will list your child's teachers emails below.

Please send your photo in by Friday, August 21st. You can send it digitally or send in a printed copy.
