Learning about families

In social studies we have been studying families. We brainstormed the definition of "family" (we ended up deciding it was anyone who loved you), described and compared our own families, and drew pictures of them.

We also read lots of books about families, including my favorite, The Family Book by Todd Parr.

Then we talked about different homes that families can live in - big ones, small ones, apartments, houses, trailers, castles, huts. We read the beautiful book Home by Carson Ellis.

Then we drew pictures of our own homes!
