To bring the family and the school together in a homework lesson.
Materials: - White heavy construction paper or poster board paper
- Marker
- Template of the cube
- Pictures from home
- Parental involvement with the activity
- Glue
- Scissors
Plan: - Copy the cube outline below onto heavy construction paper for each child in the classroom.
- Find pictures of all the people listed in the cube in your photo albums or in extra pictures around the house. Have your child help pick which pictures to use. Also have the child cut out the pictures if possible. Then glue the pictures in the box on the cube. After all the pictures are glued on and dried, tape the cube together and look at the finished product!!
- Have your child bring the cube back to school and share the pictures with the rest of the class so they can get to know your family too.
- Give your students a full week to get this project done. That way the parents are not feeling rushed to get this project done and they can have fun with their child picking out the pictures. I suggest sending it home on Monday and giving them till Friday to bring it back in. Then spend the next week giving each child a chance to show their own cube to the class.
Comments:
My kindergarten child did this and we had a lot of fun finding pictures and putting the cube together. She was very proud of it and showed it to everyone that came into the house after that!!
