Workshop Jefferson County, Colorado Each American family has played an important role in the building of our country.
All people have a history that is uniquely their own.
Kids' innate curiosity about the past, especially about their own history, really lends itself to the making of a family scrapbook. This activity can provide a tremendous boost to one's self-esteem. Sharing class members' work with the whole group provides an excellent lesson in multicultural education by showing how all people are different yet alike. Putting together a personal scrapbook can motivate children to discover their individuality and encourage them to learn about their roots. When people are able to understand and appreciate their own heritage, we believe they will become more sensitive to the heritage of others.
