board with pictures or anything else he/she would like to
display that tells information your child would like to share
with all of us. (See attached sheet for ideas.)
Tuesday: Your child may bring in his/her favorite stuffed
animal or toy. Have your child place the item in a paper

Wednesday: Your child may bring in a favorite picture book
that he/she would like to share with the class. The book can
be read by either your child or a teacher.

make everyone smile. (Singing, dancing, playing an
instrument, telling jokes, performing magic tricks, drawing a
picture, etc…)

2. Friday: Your child will have the opportunity to be Mrs.
Teitsma’s helper for the day! They will be the special person
who gets to sit in the small rocking chair next to the teacher.
