Homework
Let's start here...Today your little pup should have brought home a manila poster board. (PLEASE DO NOT USE ANOTHER SIZE) Along with that poster board there should be the following note attached...
This poster is a family project. Yes, I would love for my little pup to have some OK... A LOT of say in what goes on it and how it looks! BUT it will also be on display in the classroom throughout the year! So some family help would be WONDERFUL! Start teaching those scrapbooking skills! On the back of the letter you will find the other page. On the left side are some ideas of what CAN be included on the poster and on the right is a checklist of some things that SHOULD be included! These are DUE on Sept. 21, 2012! We will start our TOP DOG the following week! Bringing me to the NEXT part of the project...I will be sending home the following prior to your child's TOP DOG week! I will probably email it out! If any of the days need to be switched around just let me know...I'm happy to work with you!
Please don't send anything in until it is your child's TOP DOG week! (I WILL misplace it...I know myself all to well!) Please let me know if you all have any questions! I will post this information on the homework tab for easy finding!
- DUE: Thursday, August 30, 2012
- A picture of your child with his/her favorite book. You may send this to me at guyc@friscoisd or you can send in a hard copy of it. We will be making copies to be used in several learning activities over the next few weeks! And if there is NO way for you to send in a picture...please send in the book!
- Please talk with your child about why he or she chose this particular book. It should have some "meaning" ex: I chose Is Your Mama A Llama? . This book makes me happy. I read it to my nephew Hank when he was a baby. He would ask for "mama llama" books. NOW, his baby cousin asks for "mama llama" books and Hank can read them to him!
