OCTOBER FAMILY FUN WORK DUE Oct. 16, 2009
We are sending this paper for you and your child to create a career doll at
home. You can help your child with this project, but please do not do it
entirely for him/her!
First, trace your child’s body and then you can work with your child to think
of ways to decorate it to represent the occupation your child would like to
pursue. You may use markers, crayons, pieces of fabric, buttons, paint,
colored construction paper, yarn or whatever you can find at home. Be
creative—there is no need to buy materials. Then use the words provided to
help your child label the body parts. When you and your child are finished
with this project and it is completely dry, please return it to school.
Don’t forget to write your child’s name and occupation on the back!!
Please remember that the purpose of these Family Projects is not only to have
fun with your family, but to encourage Kindergarten speaking and listening
skills. Learning to be an audience and ask questions or share compliments
and comments are important skills for Kindergarten students.
Thanks!!
Callison Kindergarten Teachers

What To Wear: Jeans, T-shirts (preferably Callison T-shirt) and sneakers (no
sandals).
What To Bring: Sack lunch in a disposable bag with a drink (everything must
be able to be thrown away) or order a sack lunch from the cafeteria (if your
child typically orders lunch from the cafeteria they will be provided with a
sack lunch).
Cost: $5.00 - Please send money in an envelope or zip lock bag with child’s

If you would like to chaperone please inform your child’s teacher. Adult
admission is $2.50; adults are required to complete the district background
check in order to volunteer. The application must be completed prior to
October 16. It can be found at www.roundrockisd.org.
Siblings are not permitted on field trips. Chaperones will be expected to
help supervise a small group of students and will need to provide their own
transportation to and from the farm.
If you would like to sponsor another child please feel free to do so by
sending in additional money. Your generosity is greatly appreciated.
Thank you,
Kindergarten Teachers
