The children brought in family pictures to display throughout the classroom. They love to talk about who is in their pictures and where the pictures were taken (Kings Island! A baseball game!).
Everyone helped to design their own special poster, complete with pictures and facts about them. By discussing information about themselves they can identify things they have in common and differences (example: "He is 4 years old like me!" or "Her favorite color is red but my favorite color is blue.")

| Fun facts about these two friends...their favorite foods include waffles and meatballs! They are busy gluing shapes to their posters. |

| Adding stickers to his poster. He says that he likes the color blue and lives in Ohio. |
