Week 2
This week we are focusing on the concept of culture and how culture changes with migration.
Make a family tree.
Search 'family tree' (images) in Google for some ideas.
Start with you at the bottom of the tree and work upwards. Under each picture or drawing, write the person's name, who they are (ie. aunt, uncle, mom, grandpa) and where they are from. If they migrated, write that information too.
Have a discussion with your parents about their culture and how it has changed if they've ever migrated.
Can you see how your culture might have changed when you moved to or away from Bali?
Complete Khan Academy assignments related to fraction and decimals (in order if possible).
