BREAKING NEWS!
The first homework assignment is a Me Collage. Each year in my class, we
begin the new school year by reading Judy Moody was in a
mood. Not a good mood. A bad mood. by Megan
McDonald. I pick this book for a couple of
reasons. First, I love the very first sentence, "Judy Moody did
not want to give up summer." It always seems so fitting for the
adults and the kids! Also, a large part of the book centers around a
class project called a Me Collage. It focuses on each child's
strengths and interests and is a great way to get to know each other, appreciate
differences and similarities, and learn new things about each
other. In fact, through this project, Judy discovers that someone
with whom she thought she had nothing in common, is in fact a perfect
friend because of common interests.
Your child now has the
opportunity to create their own Me Collage. I have shown them one at
school. I will also provide a work sheet for brainstorming
ideas. Me Collages are best constructed on a heavy piece of poster
board. It's great if kids can find pictures in magazines or glue
actual objects to the me collage (legos or pasta--for favorite
activities/favorite food). You don't have to do every category, and
they shouldn't be a whole poster board of photos.
Me Collages are due Monday, September
23rd. If you are done before that, they can come in early.
Let me know if you have any
questions or concerns.
