Show and Tell May/June

May/June Show and tell - Family Pictures

We have been talking about how we are connected with each other. Help your child to select pictures of their family that they would like to share with the group. These can be physical printed photos or photos that are emailed to me to share via the computer screen. In addition to the photos, it would be nice if you and your child could draw and color the family tree (that will be sent home the night before together to share with the class on their leader day.

Thank you.

Andrea Confer
