I love Saturdays y domingos: Author Study Alma Flor Ada

To be like, "us" is something that teachers must address. We think about perfect familys wiht a father and mother that have some sort of European background and eat dinner at night around the kitchen table. We have to do our best as educators to change this perspective and allow our students to see that differences are what make us so unique and so perfect in our own way. This book talks about a child who has a set of Grandparents who are of European ancestry and the other set are Mexican-American. Abuelita y Abuelito are different from Grandma and Grandpa, but they have their own traditions with thier grandchild and prove that every family is different and has something unique to offer. This is a great book to discuss heritage and background with very young children
