The Family Book

After reading, "The Family Book" by Todd Parr and practicing drawing our families, boys and girls were inspired to use different coloured shapes to create the members in their family.

After building using shapes, students were encouraged to draw details that made members in their family special. 

 

Students are beginning to explore early literacy concepts by copying the words "My Family" and by writing the beginning sounds they hear in the words they are trying to write, such as "D" for Dad, "M" for Mom.
