Decorate for Heritage Night!
We would love for families to decorate a paper doll in their heritage to display at school for Heritage Night, Thursday, April 10 at 5:30pm! Paper dolls were sent home in students’ backpacks. If your child needs another one, please have him/her tell the teacher. We have them in the main office.
Please cut out the doll first. Next, complete the information on the back of the doll, this identifies the owner. Now you are ready to start creating your doll.
You may use whatever you have available (cloth, ribbons, construction paper, markers and crayons, etc.) to create your special person. You can create the face by drawing and coloring it or by placing your child’s picture on it.
Have your child bring the decorated doll back to school for our display.
Decora para la Noche del Patrimonio
¡Nos encantaría que las familias decoren un muñeco de papel de su patrimonio cultural para exhibirlo en la escuela durante la Noche del Patrimonio Cultural, jueves 10 de abril a las 17:30 horas! Los muñecos de papel fueron enviados a casa en la Carpeta de los Jueves. Si su hijo necesita otro, pídale que se lo diga al maestro. Los tenemos en la oficina principal.
Primero deben recortar el muñeco. A continuación, completen la información en la parte de atrás del muñeco, así sabemos a quién pertenece. Ahora ya están listos para empezar a crear su muñeco.
Para crear a su persona especial, usted puede utilizar lo que tenga disponible en la casa (tela, cintas, cartulina de colores, marcadores, crayolas, etc.) La carita, pueden crearla dibujando una cara y colorearla o poniendo la foto de su niño/a sobre ella.
Haga que su hijo traiga la muñeca decorada a la escuela para nuestra exhibición.
