As it is the beginning of the school year with some new faces, I thought now would be the perfect time to do "All About Me" posters.

I ask that the parents and guardians help your child in completing their posters, as well as bringing in one or two items that represent your child. For example, I have two pets cats and they are my favorite animal. To represent that, I would bring in a small cat plushie to show that cats are my favorite animal. I have sent home a blank copy of the poster for each child as well as a paper bag to put your child's items in.  Some ideas to include on your poster can be found here:  https://youtu.be/R-llJQqSITE
