Starting this week: during our book exchange time, the students will pick a partner to read to in an effort to maximize their reading opportunities.
An Art Lesson For Parents
An Art Lesson for Parents
If you have read to your child recently, draw a body; for you have begun to build a very basic part of him.
If you have read to your child about a child like himself, a
neighborhood like yours, or a family like yours, put arms on the body;
for you have helped your child to find a place in the world and to reach
out and embrace this world.
If you and your child have used reading for a specific purpose: to
look up a phone number, to read a recipe, to follow a map, to discover
an advertised product, draw a head on your child's shoulder; for you
have given him a key for unlocking information.
If you read to your child about something far from him, different
customs, values, or environments, then put legs on him; for you have
given him a way to walk into the world.
If you read a comic, a funny story, or enjoyed a poem together, you
have given your child something extra that will add color to his life.
Finish your drawing by putting clothes on your child; for you have given your child warmth, color and style
You have put beauty into your child's life.
