Dear Parents,In the next science unit, your child will be exploring with Mrs. Vella the similarities and differences in characteristics when comparing offspring to parents and siblings to siblings. This is especially fun for the students if they can bring in pictures of themselves and their families. If you are able to, please send in a family photo, or a one page collage of the members of your family this Monday, April 22nd for those who haven’t brought them in.
If your children are adopted or in a blended family, your pictures are most welcome! Mrs. Teichert’s children are adopted and she brings in their pictures to show that even though we don’t share the same genetic traits, we share the same traits that make us humans. Even biological families often don’t look like each other and it gives us lots of examples to talk about.
