As children enter kindergarten, their world completely changes. Some children are coming to school for the first time, while some children are now attending school for a full day as opposed to half day or semi regular daycare. These children are now in a place where they must stay all day, learn rules and routines, and cannot see their families for six or so hours at a stretch. For some children, this experience can be an uncomfortable one, and this unit is designed with that in mind.
Kindergarten is an important time to foster a sense of wonder and curiosity, in a safe place where children can express their individuality and celebrate others' diversity. This unit is created so children can learn about families all over the word while relating that to their own family dynamic.
Family finding
is designed to be taught during the first six weeks of school while children in kindergarten are learning about how school works; all the while they are missing their homes and their families.
