We are Blasting Off Into another Great School
September 8, 2011
Dear Parents,
Welcome to my class! I am sending home a token “welcome” package with your child for you to share. My goal is for you to discuss with your child the connections between literal vs. symbolic or metaphoric representation but … keep it simple. As your children enters grade three or four, they are entering a new world. They are moving from the literal world to making deeper connections to the world around them. Connections to self, literature and media, and current world events. Relating to more than what is factually written or stated is the next big step in their intellectual development. Try to come up with three symbols together that you could add to the package that would help make your child’s year the best one ever!! Cheers and Enjoy this little assignment.
Yours truly,
Carla Sumarlidson.
