Haikus most often are about things that the poet sees or feels in the world around him or her. Your children are writing haiku about lycopene and tomatoes. Try to help them come up with creative material to use in their haikus. In this activity your students are going to learn about the history of your family and the overall health of your family. Your children will understand what genealogy is and why knowing about your family s past generations can tell you a lot about your family.
Families are different all around the world.
Some families include mothers and fathers and their children. Others have either a mother or a father, but not both. Still others include aunts, uncles, grandparents, and great - grandparents all living in the same house. But even if you live in different places, you are all still family. Nieces, nephews, cousins, in-laws.
