I sent home a special Family Tree project for our class today. Please check the green paper in your child's folder. I am attaching the letter below, as well as some picture examples of other family trees for ideas.
Creativity is encouraged! :)
Dear Families,
Our
study of trees will branch out into the realm of FAMILY TREES. Please help your child create a family tree
of his or her own. We will also use this
project to begin discussing different cultures found in our community and
classroom.
*This
project is due on Tuesday, October 30th.*
1. Make
a tree on a piece of thin poster board or large sturdy paper. The poster or paper needs to be no larger
than 16X20 inches. They will be displayed
in the classroom and wall space is very limited. You can use any medium you would like.
Suggestions: crayons, markers, paint, fabric, wallpaper etc.
2. Glue
actual photos or create illustrations of family members to
branches or leaves.
3. Write
each person’s name below his or her picture.
4. Family
members must include: your child, siblings, parents, grandparents, aunts, and
uncles. Cousins are optional.
