Dear Parents,In our next science unit, we will be exploring 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 send in a family photo, or a one page collage of the members of your family in a protective plastic sleeve by Thursday, April 19, I will hang them up for the students to observe, but not touch. 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!!
(I will plan on sending the pictures back home by the middle of the following week, but please email me if you need them before lteichert@questac.org)
