All About Me is a time for your child to shine! On your child’s All About Me day, they will share some information about themselves to help us all get to know them a little better. Every Tuesday, a My Book About Me will go home with one child in our class until everyone has had a turn. Your child, with your help, will have until the following Tuesday to complete and return the book. On Tuesday mornings your child will have about 10 minutes to share the information they have assembled . This is similar to “Show and Tell” but it focuses on your child and promotes self confidence, verbal skills, discussions, and celebrates all of our unique differences.
The All About Me book has a sentence on each page that they need to complete and an area for them to either draw a picture or to attach a photo. Most children will need your help with the words, especially early on in the year. Once completed, the books will stay in school in a special basket for the children to read over and over. These usually become favorite books in our classroom library.
Your child may also bring in one special object to share with the class (a special drawing/painting they created, a special stuffed animal, a model they built, etc.). The object must be small enough to fit in their backpack and light enough that your child can carry it to school. The object will return home with your child that same day.
Enjoy the time you and your child spend working on this special project! Thank you for your help.
