Unit 1—has been prepared specifically for children between the ages of 6 to 8. It begins by examining the child’s family, looking at the organization of the family unit, its members, and their relationships.

It also introduces the child to the idea of “legacy” as family, places, and cultures do much to shape who families are and how we live. Read more... › |
