The goal of having a Learning Celebration focused on our personal history is to have kids understand the richness of their own narrative.  Having parents involved in both collecting information and providing a sharing opportunity helps kids begin to accept and appreciate diversity.  Knowing about our past can help us understand who we are.  As kids collect data around their family’s unique heritage, they become aware of how their story is different from the story of their peers. Growing up in a country that is becoming increasingly diverse means that it is imperative that kids understand and respect each other’s differences.  This exposure of individual heritage and culture provides the opportunity to help bridge the norms, attitudes and values of our past to unite us.
