Family Is Love
Theme: Embracing traditional and nontraditional families
Jamal lived with his grandmother. He loved her deeply, but sometimes felt different from classmates who had two parents at home. When the class was asked to share their family stories, Jamal hesitated.
Leo reminded him, "Your family is awesome. You always talk about your grandma's sweet potato pie!" Jamal smiled and brought in a scrapbook the next day—photos of his grandma braiding his hair, helping him cook, and cheering him on at games.
The class loved it. Everyone shared in different ways, and they learned that love, not looks, is what makes a family.
