Both Secret Reader and Family Share are a great way for families to stay connected and be part of our classroom. Every Friday morning from 8:05 - 8:30 a.m. we welcome a 1B parent, sibling, family member, or other special person to:

• read 2 picture books to us (Secret Reader)

           and/or

• share information with the class about your family's culture (Family Share)

Secret Reader is a first grade tradition and we hope all families are able to participate at least once during the school year (however, please note participation is not required). But after you sign-up, SHHH! It's a secret for your child and the whole class!

Family Share in 1B is a special way for families to share their culture with the class. Our students and teachers love to learn about what makes your family unique and the special traditions you have. Your family's culture is important and we encourage you to share it with us!

Ideas for sharing your family's culture with the class may include, but are not limited to:

• read a book(s) that shows your family's culture
• show family photos
• share special music
• use a map to highlight areas of the world that are important to your family
• show traditional clothing or other artifacts 
• lead the class in a brief craft project 

If you need to find a date/time that is not listed, want to discuss ideas, or have any questions, please contact me directly via e-mail (christine_bates@psbma.org).

We look forward to welcoming you to our classroom!
