Family Traditions in the Classroom

We discussed family traditions this week.

(If you are like me, you are thinking, “In OCTOBER?? Why not in November or December??” Well, thanks to the lovely C-Scope {NOT a fan!}, we discussed family traditions during October.)

We read several books such as The Keeping Quilt and The Relatives Came. We brainstormed a list of traditions that everyone’s families partake in. I shared my own family traditions, too. Each child then made a quilt square by drawing a picture of their family tradition and presenting it to the class. They really enjoyed this!

We pieced the quilt together. Here is what it looks like!

On another note, our local Target donated 2 class sets of books to our whole grade level. The kids were SUPER excited to get them! Many of our kids don’t have huge libraries at home so this will give them something else to read at home.

Thank you, Target!!

Happy Teaching,

Amanda
