Puzzle Piece: Your Name

Dear Kindergarten Parents/Guardians,

On Tuesday, November 21 students will begin to present their puzzle piece on their name.  This program is designed to support the Social Studies curriculum and assist the children with exploring the general outcomes "I ma Unique" and "I Belong".  Each day one or two students in the class will bring their puzzle and present it to their classmates.  This student will share a personal story about their name.  The topic will be introduced in class and students will receive a paper puzzle piece to take home to work on.  The children are being asked to learn about their name.  Please discuss the following questions with your child and help them record their/your ideas, thoughts and pictures on the puzzle piece.

What is your full name?

Who named me?
Am I named after anyone?
Do I go by any other names?
Do I have a nickname?

Any other information about my name

The puzzle piece is being sent home today, but your child may not present for a month or so.  Please keep the puzzle piece in a safe place.  The children can draw, colour, cut out pictures, use photos, etc. to decorate their puzzle piece.  Be creative!  A schedule will be posted on the classroom blog so you know when your child will present.  Please practice presenting with your child and ensure that your child is prepared to present on their given day.

Thank you for your support,

Mrs. Lacey
