Family

This week's theme was FAMILY. We have discussed our 5 "W's" (Who, What, Where, When, Why) about Family. Each student brought in a picture of their family and told us all about their family traditions and things they like to do together. 

One of our favourite authors, Todd Parr, wrote a fantastic book called, 'The Family Book' that talks about how all families are unique. We made many connections to this book throughout our presentations. Some families are small, some are big, some have pets, some don't. 

Another great book that we read was "The Things I Love About Family" by Trace Moroney. This book has a couple pages of character traits and feelings you have towards your family. We had a great discussion about what it meant to "have belongingness". 

On Friday, our school celebrated Elders' Day! We had many grandparents, parents, aunts, and uncles roaming around our school hallways. We were so lucky to have so many visitors in our classroom and we heard some amazing stories of their lives growing up (some MUCH different than ours!). Thank-you Elders for coming in to visit and share your Show & Tell! 

Have a wonderful long weekend and enjoy your Family Day on Monday!
