International Day of Families--May 15!

This upcoming Tuesday on May 15 the United Nations and the rest of the world will be celebrating International Day of Families! This is an annual celebration for families all around the world and this year the focus is on “ensuring work family balance”. The United Nations wants to call attention to all families and how each of them provides economically and emotionally for each member. To celebrate this special day take some time to learn about another culture! Ask your child to name as many countries as they can. From there, ask your child to pick one country that they would like to know more about. After you have your country, do some research! What do their families look like? What do their houses look like? Do both the boys and girls go to school? You can find that information on the internet, in books or by having conversation with people from that culture.

Happy Family Literacy Friday everyone!
