Family Fun Homework
Each month, I send home a project for the whole family to do together and return to school. When the finished project arrives back at school, it is hung on our special Family Fun bulletin board or in the hall outside our door. We love to share our Family Fun Homework with the rest of the school.
August
We decorate a bag and make
sure our name is on it. Then
we place 3 items from home
that tell the class more about
us. We have a good time getting
to know each other.
September
We designed Reading Treasure Boxes
to store all of our class made books,
Frog Street books, and phonics books.
We displayed them in our school's
library for all the students to enjoy!
.
October
We made an Environmental Print
Bulletin Board. Students were asked
to bring in their favorite empty box
of cereal, cookies, or crackers.
It becomes one of our "Read the
Room" activities.

November
The kindergartners are given turkeys to disguise over the holidays. This is one of our favorite Family Fun Activities. In the past, we have had Elvis, cheerleaders, hunters, a flower pot, snowmen, Santa, angels, UK players, and rock stars!
Turkey, turkey, look at you! Please be careful what you do. Thanksgiving Day is almost here. We eat turkey every year. Go and hide out in the woods. We'll eat pizza like we should! |
December
In December, each child is given a Christmas tree to decorate. We encourage them to make AB, ABC, ABB, AAB, or AABB patterns with the ornaments.
