Family Picture

HeredityDear Parents,

In our science lesson on Thursday, we will be exploring the similarities and differences in characteristics when comparing offspring to parents.  This is especially fun for the students if they can bring in pictures of themselves and their families.  If you are able to send in a family photo, or a one page collage of the members of your family in a protective plastic sleeve by Thursday, I will hang them up for the students to observe, but not touch.  Alternatively, you may email me a picture instead at lteichert@questac.org
Bonus if you have a picture of yourself around your child’s age! 🙂


If your children are adopted or in a blended family, your pictures are most welcome!  My own children are adopted and I bring 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!!
