Feature Friday

Family projects are a great way to keep the school/home connections active. One idea to involve families is to have them create a Treasure Box. Treasure Boxes are a great way to store all the PreK and Kindergarten keepsakes that can be treasured throughout the year.


Directions for Treasure Boxes

Give each family a cardboard box (xerox paper boxes work great). Ask families to decorate the boxes and find a special place at home to keep them. Boxes can be decorated with stickers, photos, drawings, etc. The children can take turns bringing their boxes to school and sharing about how they came up with the idea to decorate their boxes and talk about their families and who did what to help. You could even do this activity at Parent Orientation, Open House, or Family Night.
