The Magic of Change

Dear Parents;

   We are making a special book about changes. There are many things in the world that change and we would like to learn about some of them. We would also like to celebrate the magic of change. Your child is bringing home a page to fill in with his or her idea about something that changes. There are two frames. He or she can draw something in each frame or put in pictures from magazines or other sources. Some examples of things they might choose are an egg in the first frame and a bird in the second, a seed in the first and a plant in the second, or some baking ingredients in the first and a cookie in the second. Then there is a sentence to fill in at the bottom of the page: A ____________________ becomes a ______________!

   Please take some time this week to talk with your child and notice different changes around them. Then help him or her to choose their favourite change for their page. We will put all the pages together into a book with flaps that lift up to reveal the changes. We will also be talking about change in class. Do these things change because of Nature or because people make the change happen? Please return the page to class by next Wednesday, April 20^th. Thank you for your help with this project!
