    Family Pictures due Monday if possible

    HeredityDear 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 either this Monday, April 15th or the next Monday, April 22nd.

    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.

    Thank You!!

    I’m sending home an order form where you can pre-order a copy of the book. It is not necessary to purchase, but I need your slips signed and returned in order to receive the free publishing materials.
    Save $2 on hardcover books when you pre-pay online!
    When you pre-order online you can save $2 on the purchase of a hardcover book. Simply go to studentreasures.com/preorder


    You’ll love seeing your child’s writing and illustrations captured in this treasured keepsake and watching their face light up when they bring home this high-quality book.

    This is an exciting opportunity to showcase our student’s creativity! We are so excited to become published authors and to share our work with family and friends.

    Sincerely,
    Your child’s teacher

    P.S. Be sure to ask your child what they’re writing about!
