Family Poster

We need your help with three things this month. The first is a family poster. We'll give you the piece of cardboard, your job is to fill it with photographs of your family, people your child knows, pets, or pictures of activities that your child enjoys. Just take a look around the house and see what you have. We will be laminating these posters (otherwise, the photographs will all get picked off again by our curious hands) so make sure that anything going on the poster can stay on the poster. We will use these posters in the classroom as talking points for conversation with the kids. We employ simple images already (a child eating cake, a father and son washing the dog, etc) to ask questions and use the ever-growing list of words at our disposal to describe those images and tell stoires about them. This kind of literacy oriented activity will be deeply enriched by images the children are familiar with- it will add a whole new layer of meaning and motivation, and it will bring a little more of your family into our classroom. Thanks for your participation!
