in your backpack?” Greet your child with
this question, and you’ll discover a lot about what s/he does in class.

Parent/Teacher Conference
Start
a habit.
We
have a beautiful track around our brand new Football field. We need to be proud of it and take care of
it. There should be no trash at all on
the track! I have found gum, sunflower
shells, pieces of metal, broken twigs/stalks and paper trash! If everyone will
do their part in picking up the trash our track will stay beautiful!!
Fun Activity.
Let your child create their
own 3-D community. They’ll practice map
skills and learn about urban planning as they decide where to put the buildings
in their town. Materials:
Paper
lunch bags, newspapers, crayons or markers, black construction paper, scissors,
and tape.
Have your
child think of buildings to include, such as a bank, a grocery store, a school,
a library, and houses. They can make
them by drawing doors, windows, and signs on flat bags (on the side without the
flap). For every bag they decorate, have them stuff a second one with newspaper.
Then, they open each decorated bag and slide it over a stuffed bag so the
“buildings” will stand up. For the
roads, cut black construction paper into strips and tape them together. Finally, have your child lay out their roads and arrange their buildings
alongside them to make their very own town!
