Grade 2 - Family Tree Project Letter

This letter is to be sent out on the 10th and 11th of March.

Dear families,

We will be making a family tree in class. Your child will need to bring in pictures of different family members and/or extended family members. We just need a picture of the head of the person. The head should not be much bigger than about 1 1/2 inch (about passport size), otherwise the people will not fit on the poster, especially when there are many people in your family. Please, do not cut up the pictures, but be prepared that your child will cut it up at school, so send a copy of the picture if you don't want it to be destroyed. Your child should know these people. If you have too many just send in the favorite ones. You might want to label the back of the picture if your child cannot remember the names of the persons. Please put all the pictures in an envelope with your child's name on it and send it in with your child. If you do not have a photograph of your family member, your child can draw a picture of that person. Students will not be penalized for not bringing pictures in.

Also, please take time to complete the handout “D’où est-ce que je viens?” with your child, where students are asked to record the names and the origin of their family members and/or extended family members.

The due date for the pictures and the handout is 29th of March for every grade 2 student. Please DO NOT MAKE A FAMILY TREE! The children will be making it in class.

If you have any question about this project, please contact me (ext. 113). Thank you for your support.

Mr. Jung
