Culture+Boxes

Dear Parents/Guardians,

As we move along right into the fall season we will be continuing to learn more about each other. As a kindergarten grade level we will be introducing Culture Boxes. These are boxes that the children fill with things that they want us to know about themselves. Shoe boxes are a fine size for a Cultural Box. Some examples of something to put in a Culture Box would be: a box of spaghetti if your child likes to eat it; a crayon if they like to draw; a CD if they love music; or a picture of a family member or pet.

We will be asking the children to bring in their Culture Boxes to share with their class. It would be great to start collecting things and to bring in their box by Friday, October 30th.

This experience is wonderful for the children as they share a part of themselves and to foster language as they share with the class what is in their box.

We will be putting together different Culture Boxes throughout the school year as we study different countries. This will be done in each class as a whole group activity and we will pass the boxes along to share with all K classes.

Thank you for all your support,

The K team
