We started the week off by reading The Family Book by Todd Parr.  After we had a group discussion about what makes a family and how many family members were in each of our families.

Our family feast is rapidly approaching.
This is the time of year where  our families come and enjoy a family style meal with their children.  This event is a great way for our families to get to know one anther and become part of the our school community.  

Each year the children make a dessert that is served at the family feast. Here is a list of ideas that the children came up with.

Each family drawing will be laminated and used at table to mark each families special spot.
(do you see the patterns naturally appearing in their art!)

Our annual family fall festival went off with out a hitch!  Every year we have our family event to bring our school community together and give our families the opportunity to get to know one another.  After all the children go home and share all the daily events so why not let our family see it all first hand.
