Short activities that students do with a family member to foster communication at home, and link school learning with home experiences and perspectives.

How it works 

Activities presented in each package’s Homeside Activity Book (each is grade specific) begin in the classroom, develop at home, and then conclude in the classroom with group interaction and sharing. These activities give children an opportunity to share their school lives with the adults at home and give those adults an avenue for communicating with the children about what happens at school. The activities, 18 for each grade, are provided in Spanish as well as English.
