Through the eyes of women authors and their written works and pictures, we get a glimpse of China and its people, and learn from their roots and traditions. When looking at the family, we concentrate on these voices of women.
Literacy plays an important role in every facet of the unit.
Books such as Two of Everything by Lily Toy Hong, Amy Tan's books, The Moon Lady and The Chinese Siamese Cat are just a few stories found in the unit. The unit is part of a team effort in which a kindergarten teacher, first grade teacher, third grade teacher and a library media specialist from L. W. Beecher School help students become knowledgeable about families of different cultures, using children's literature written by women authors.
