Tommy's First Homework Project

Well, Tommy received his first homework assignment. Actually, his teacher was so nice to let me know that the rest of the children in Tommy's class were going to have these projects completed for Friday. Since Friday is Tommy's first day, she didn't want him to feel left out. Below is the project description:


This week’s theme will be All About Me. As a homework assignment for the week I ask that you create a collage on an 8x11 sheet of paper (construction). Please work with your child and place a family picture, fun things you and your child like to do, anything to explain your family and things you do as a family. (Pictures cut out of magazines/family photos/photos of fun things you do) Remember: This is for you and your child to complete together! Talk about the pictures and ask them their favorite memory. Have the children glue the pictures down or have them cut something out of a magazine (hand over hand)! It should not be perfect we are only in preschool! Make if fun! We will show these on FRIDAY, SEPTEMBER 19th during Show and Tell.

Here is the project completed - my Tommy's first school project. He really did most of it himself. The only thing I did was pick out the pictures. He chose the color of the paper, cut the pictures (with minimal help I might add - he does not like help with scissors - I saved many a head on this project), glued the back of the pictures (with a little help), chose where on the paper to place it, and put down the stickers. I was very proud of him.
