At TBSCC we prioritize family-school connections. In the Etzim class, one way that children were encouraged to bring their family lives into the life of the classroom is through the family apples they created last week. Each child filled an apple with all of the members of their immediate family. Hung at child level in the wall, these creations have been attracting a lot of attention.
"Dad! That's my dad!" said Jacob, heading over to the board. Josh quickly joined him, asking questions about Jacob's apple and then reviewing his own. Soon a small group gathered around, examining all of the families, discussing each one, and explaining their own. Be sure to ask your child to give you a tour of the family apples the next time you are in the classroom.
