I love the potato family and family tree. I haven't been doing a very good job using art in our school this year... like no at all right now. I need to get rolling this looks like so much fun:)

I love using the Great Aunt Arizona book when I taught the ancestor writing unit in fourth grade. I also enjoyed The Relatives Came. It was fun to see what the children would write about their own families - The potato print family activity looks like fun too! With Eli going to school at 12:15, it seems we don't have time for a lot of "school". Ethan is learning all the time, though! He loves Barney and we are "reading" some words like football and his name. :) He will point and tell me what to write!
Blessings,

So cute!
My Mom has The Relatives Came at her house, and it's her favorite one to read to the kids. :)
