Hi Families! 
 
Just to clarify the Family Data sheet homework, this is where your child will be glueing or drawing their gathered objects and their picture. We will do this in class tomorrow. If they want to bring a toy or something big to share they can draw it in the box.
 
Thank you! 
 
Thank you!
Hi Families! I sent this letter home to explain the next part of our Building Healthy Relationships unit. Their brainstorming worksheet is due next Tuesday and they are responsible for bringing in any items that they will need to teach their partner on the 14th. On the reverse side of the brainstorming sheet are some ideas of what they might teach if your child is stuck. As always, thank you for your support!
