Time+Capsule+Directions

Dear Parents,

We are coming closer to the end of our reading series, Treasures. We have learned about biographies this year and now we are beginning to work on our own autobiography. We are going to make a TIME CAPSULE for your child to open on their high school graduation day in the year 2024.

I AM ASKING YOU TO HELP US OUT! 1. Please wrap a shoe box ( or a shirt gift box) in a wrapping of your choice. Wrap top and bottom separately. Label the bottom with your child’s name.

2. Write your child a personal love letter for them to open in June, 2024. Date it and tell them anything you wish. Seal it and put your child’s name on the envelope. Put it in the time capsule.

3. Include any other items, personal or of the family’s that your child may enjoy finding: pictures of them and their family, toys, a picture of their room, their home…..endless ideas. * We will add a hand print, footprint, height string, and our autobiography. PLEASE RETURN EVERYTHING to school no later than WEDNESDAY, May 29, 2013 Thank you so much!!

4. We will seal it and date it for JUNE 2024 and send it home, shortly thereafter.

5. When it returns home put this treasure somewhere safe until June 2024. I truly hope it will become your children’s treasure. Thank you for all your help with this special project!
