Something as simple as food has a rich cultural history. From this springboard students take a look at the heritage of many people groups in the United States. Drawing from historical and community resources students will discover how people all over the world have left their mark on the land they settled. While the differences are compared and contrasted children will be caught up in the rhythm of Cinco De Mayo, the celebration of Chinese New Year, the family focus of Kwanzaa and recognize the ways they are all part of the same community.
