LOVE MAKES A FAMILY DISPLAYSUGGESTED GRADE LEVEL: K – 3 (K – 5 for aschool-wide display)LENGTH OF TIME: One 25 minute session plus one or twoproject sessionsGOAL To see that the common bond that holds all kindsof families and caring communities together is loveand caring. To create a unique drawing about their own family and learn about their classmates’families through their drawings.OBJECTIVES Students will be able to define what makes a family and describe a variety of families. Students will learn that families have some similarities and some differences. Students will create a drawing that celebrates each student’s unique family structureand communicates an important aspect of their families. Students will learn about each other’s unique families through the creation of a class(or school-wide) display.ACADEMIC STANDARDS CCSS.ELA-LITERACY.RL.2.7: Use information gained from the illustrations andwords in a print or digital text to demonstrate understanding of its characters,setting or plot. CCSS.ELA-LITERACY.RI.1.1: Ask and answer questions about key details in a text.(Also K.1 and 2.1) CCSS.ELA-LITERACY.SL.1.1: Participate in collaborative conversations with diversepartners about grade 1 topics and texts with peers and adults in small and largergroups. (Also K.1 and 2.1)EDUCATORS’ NOTESThis project centers around the concept that all families are unique and different. This lessonwill provide an opportunity to have important, complex conversations about welcoming allfamilies in your school.Children naturally notice human differences in skin tone, eye color, hair, etc. Talking openlyand honestly about how families and humans are different in these ways is very important.Teachers need to openly talk about differences while interrupting bias and stereotypes.Creating a ‘Love Makes a Family Display’ as a class can be a way for all children to connectwith their own families, share their family experience with others and appreciate the diversityof families in the classroom and the larger community.www.welcomingschools.org

Creating a drawing of their family can be a reassuring activity for students as they show howthey are connected to the caring people in their world. You will have students in your schoolwith many different family configurations, such as families with two moms or two dads,adoptive parents or foster parents. It is respectful for educators to kindly ask families whatterms and descriptions they use to refer to their families. If, for example, you have only onestudent in your school with same-gender parents, then be mindful not to put that student inthe position of teaching other children about their family. That is the job of the educator,not the student.Graphic depictions of family should be an empowering activity for all children, not anactivity that creates comfort and pride for some while creating confusion, shame or isolationfor others. Be sensitive to the individual needs of students in your classroom. A helpfulphrase may be, “We are going to make beautiful, detailed drawings of the people who loveand take care of us.” The goal of the project is for all students in the class to find somethingthey feel positive sharing with the class.Some adaptations for students might include: giving a student in joint custody two papers todraw their family, giving a child with a large family an extra big paper, or having a studentwith family in two countries draw on two papers or draw the countries with people on them.MATERIALS A picture book featuring diverse families such as: Families by Shelley Rotner andSheila M. Kelly; The Family Book by Todd Parr; Families, Families, Families! bySuzanne and Max Lang. Chart paper, pencils, black permanent markers, colored pencils, crayons or markers(make sure to have lots of good choices for skin tones and hair tones) Pre-printed paper with LOVE MAKES A FAMILY at the top (optional)READ AND DISCUSS THE BOOK Before reading the book, encourage students to pay attention to the different kinds offamilies they see in the book. As you read the book, pause and take a closer look at some of the two-page spreadsthat feature different aspects of families and their lives. Remind students not to engage in appearance-based stereotypes. For example, youdo not know a person’s gender in a picture book until you read the pronouns used inthe texts. We also don’t know what languages someone speaks or what cultures theyidentify with unless the text tells us. Engage children with these questions:oooooWhat do you see in the picture?Do you see a family that looks like yours?Do you see families that are like a friend’s family?Do you see families that are different from yours?Why is it important to learn about families different from yours?www.welcomingschools.org

LOVE MAKES A FAMILY ART PROJECT Give each of your students a piece of paper that has the words LOVE MAKES AFAMILY at the top (or have your students write it). Have students draw a detailed picture of their family with a pencil. Remind studentsthat it is their choice who to include. For example, some students may include largeextended families, and some students may include friends who are caring adults intheir lives. You might also have children who want to include pets that are part of theirfamily. Encourage them to add lots of details that are special to their particular family—hairstyles, clothing styles, skin tones, different heights, etc. After they have drawn their family in pencil with lots of details, have students traceover the pencil lines with a black permanent marker. Once students are done outlining, they can color in their drawing of themselves withcrayons, colored pencils or markers.SHARING THEIR ARTWORK Give students an opportunity to share their work with each other, in pairs or smallgroups.o Direct students to talk about things that are different and special about theirfamilies.o Next, ask students to give an appreciation to their partner about their picture. Display the students’ artwork in your classroom or in a school hallway with the title‘LOVE MAKES A FAMILY’.EXTENSION A ‘Love Makes a Family’ display is wonderful to have up in your classroom or schoolfor an open house or family night. It gives families a lovely opportunity to learn abouteach other through their children’s artwork.ASSESSMENT AND EVALUATION End the lesson with a class discussion about what they learned about families, whatare important qualities in families, and why it is important to treat other students’families with understanding and respect. Listen to assess student understanding.ADDITIONAL RECOMMENDED BOOKS Families, Families, Families! Suzanne and Max Lang. A Family Is a Family Is a Family. Sara O'Leary. The Great Big Book of Families.
