It has been said that
"Not knowing your heritage is like a tree without roots."
Many children who were
born in the U.S. but come from immigrant parents don't know their culture.
As a result, many have a hard time fitting in. They also get disconnected
from their families. They need to realize that this country was
founded by immigrants and we all share different backgrounds that make us
unique.
This project will help students
become familiar with their heritage and build self esteem. Also they will
learn how their culture has contributed in making America what it is
today. Students will go on an adventure researching and
learning about their parents countries and about themselves.
