Mrs. Rhone’s and Mrs. Skal’s Kindergarteners illustrated their family history by making a family tree. In preparation for this project, parents were asked to submit family pictures that could be used for their child’s family tree. After listening to the book entitled, When the Relatives Came by Cynthia Rylant with the use of our classroom document camera, the kindergarteners discussed how individuals are unique and special. Through text-to-self connections, the kindergarteners compared and contrasted family customs and practices. The purpose of our lesson was for students to understand and respect diverse customs and practices in families. The kindergarteners continue to make comparisons and differences as they view their classmate’s family trees. Through the use of labels on their family pictures, kindergarteners are learning how to read and spell family titles such as: dad, mom, sister, brother, grandpa, grandma and the like.
