Collin's first grade class has been exploring family, culture, and tradition over the past month. He's made a family tree, his family timeline (from the day Kevin and I met until the present), and collected data about the roles of family members in the family, in the community, and in the world. This week they are discussing holiday traditions, and Collin was charged with created a collage that would encapsulate his favorite holiday traditions. When asked what he thought of as our traditions, he said: "First of all, we always get together with family!" And so family became the center of his collage!
