Who Lives in Your House?


            As a part of our unit on families we made a glyph of the people in our family. I cut a simple house shape from black construction paper and squares of different colors to represent different family members. What a great beginning glyph activity! The students are beginning to learn that a glyph is a symbol that represents information about us. In this case out glyphs tell us who is in our family.
            I love the way these glyphs look on our bulletin board. Such a fun color combination. This is the first year I’ve used fabric as a background. So far it’s been a hit!

This sign explains to parents what a glyph is and helps them find the math tie in instead of just an art project:



All of our families look different:





Our Family glyph key shows us what the symbols mean:
