This week, we began our investigation into "My Family". Students are becoming aware of who they are as unique individuals, how they are an important part of their family, and how they can share stories about their family with others.
First, we read the story, "The Family Book" by Todd Parr.
In this story, we learned that all families are special and unique. This prompted us to ask the question, "What is special about your family?".
Next, we started discussing the question, "Who is in your family?". Students were encouraged to think about and count the people who lived in their house and were considered a part of their family. Boys and girls enjoyed sharing who was in their family with their peers during a "Minute to Mingle".
Then, we started to draw! Students were asked to draw their family using MATMAN and were encouraged to add important details, such as something their sister likes to wear, what their brother's hair looks like, and much more.
Here is a look at some students hard at work, building their families!
At home, you can talk with your child about who is in your family and the different things that make your family special and unique!
