Sharing a helpful monthly tip for educators to share with families!

Invite Families to share what makes their family special

This month, encourage families to talk with their child about what makes their family unique. You might ask families to share a favorite song, food, tradition, story, phrase, or photo that could be included in the classroom.

Try saying:
“We are learning about what makes each family special. Is there a song, story, food, tradition, or photo your child would love to share with our classroom?”

These small invitations help children see their family reflected in the classroom and build a stronger sense of belonging.
