Let’s talk about family! Families can be big or small, and they don’t always have to be people you’re related to. If you love and care for someone, they can be part of your family too. At school, we have a special kind of family—our class!
When you think of a family, you might imagine a mom, dad, kids, and maybe some pets. You might also think of grandparents, step-parents, or cousins. But family can be anyone who loves and cares for you. In our classroom, we spend a lot of time together, so we become like a family too!
Our classroom is a place where we can be ourselves, show kindness, and make happy memories. We have things in common, but we also celebrate what makes each of us special. It’s okay to make mistakes here because we learn and try again together.
Sometimes, we all have tough days, but that’s okay! Your teacher and classmates are here to help you. In our classroom, we stick together and help each other learn and grow. We are a great team, and we always have each other’s backs!
In our class, we made “About Me” faces to share a little about ourselves. It’s a fun way to learn more about each other and feel like a family. You can make your own “About Me” book too!
If you don’t have books, there are many other fun stories you can explore. Remember, our class is a family, and we are all here to learn and have fun together!
Thank you for being part of our classroom family!
Family Tree Craft: Create a family tree using paper and crayons. Draw a big tree and add leaves for each member of your family, including your classroom family. Write the names of your classmates and teacher on the leaves. Talk about how each person is special and what they bring to your classroom family.
Kindness Jar: Start a kindness jar in your classroom. Every time someone does something kind for a classmate, write it on a small piece of paper and put it in the jar. At the end of the week, read the notes together and celebrate the kindness in your classroom family. Discuss how these acts make your class feel more like a family.
Family Role Play: In small groups, act out different family roles and situations. For example, pretend to be a family going on a picnic or helping each other with chores. After each role play, discuss how the actions and feelings in the play relate to your classroom family. How do you help each other like a family?

Let’s talk about family. Families come in all shapes and sizes. You don’t have to be related to someone to consider them family. If you love or care for someone, they can still be your family. In our class, we’ll explore the family we find at school.
Our class is a family! When you think of a family, you might picture one in a house: a mom, a dad, a couple of kids, and maybe some pets. Perhaps you think of a grandma or a stepmom and stepdad. It could be those cousins or even a sibling who sometimes annoys you. But family doesn’t have to be just those you’re related to; it can be any special group that loves and cares for you.
Have you ever thought about where most of your time is spent? It’s at school! So if our classroom is where we spend our days, why wouldn’t we want to make it feel like home? It’s a place where we can show respect and kindness to each other, be ourselves, and create memories together.
We’ll have things in common, which helps us connect, but we’ll also celebrate our differences and what makes each of us unique. Our classroom is a special place where it’s okay to make mistakes. We learn from them and try again, no matter what it takes.
Sometimes we all have tough days, but your teacher is here for you, and as long as you’re a friend to others, your classmates will be there too. In this classroom, we will stick together and help each other learn and grow, no matter the challenges we face.
So let’s always remember what a great team we can be! We have each other’s backs, and together, we’re a classroom family.

In our class, we created “About Me” faces to share a little about ourselves. For example, one student shared their favorite food and color. This activity is inspired by the idea of family in our classroom.
If you want to create your own “About Me” book, here’s what you’ll need: paper, markers or crayons, construction paper, glue, scissors, and a stapler.
1. Fill out the information about yourself.
2. Cut and fold the paper.
3. Color your face and cut it out.
4. Use construction paper to make your hair.
5. Glue the hair onto your face and let it dry.
6. Fold your face in half.
7. Staple the sheets together.
8. Get to know each other by sharing your books.
Remember, if you don’t have books, there are many resources available to explore fun stories.
Thank you for watching!
