Dear Parents,
It was so good to see so many of you at Open House on Sunday. I know your child enjoyed you coming into his/her classroom. I hope you enjoyed yourself.
During Social Studies your childd has been studying about ancestors, familes and traditions. to illlusrate the importance of families we will create a visual of your unique "Family Tree". In the next few days your child will be home some papers titled, Getting to Know You, Baptism and a Family Tree information paper. The Getting to Know You paper have questions that Grandparents should answer. If your child has been Baptized fill in the Baptism information. Lastly the Family Tree paper, please fill in the information regarding your family. Once all the papers are returned they will be put into a book and returned to you. Your child has been busy in the classroom answering questions regarding families and traditions. This is a wonderful keepsake of Second Grade. I will send a note home when the "Family Tree" papers go home.
International Night is January 26, 2009. The country I have chosen for this year is Morocco. We will learn as much as we can about Morocco. The people, animals, houses, location , music and of course the food.
If you have any questions regarding the Family Tree project or International Night please feel
free to contact me
