SOCIAL STUDIES:
Unit #1 –What is a Family? 

What is a family?

In this lesson, students explore characteristics and purposes of families through literature and their own experiences. The lesson begins with the teacher guiding students in developing a class definition of family such as “a family is a group of people who live together and take care of each other.” Using two diverse stories about families such as Little Mamá Forgets, Daddy Makes the Best Spaghetti, or Jonathan and his Mommy, students collect information about what families do. In doing so, students consider how families play together, work together, eat together, keep each other safe, take care of each other, and love each other. Students are introduced to basic needs, things people need to live and explore how families help them meet their basic needs of food, shelter, clothing, and love. Students expand the list sharing examples about their own families, creating their own books entitled “What My Family Does.” In an optional activity, the students add pages to their social studies vocabulary notebooks.
