Where did I come from? How did I come to be in this classroom? Using curriculum from Kidspiration, class members research the homelands of their ancestors, as well as the journeys that began from many parts of the world and ended with all the pupils in the same classroom. The year-long project culminates in a Multicultural Diversity Festival with arts, crafts, music, food, and more. One caution - no provisions are suggested for adopted children.
