Expedition: We Are Family

Our 1st Expedition: Families
It has happened at the end of week four.  We became a family unit.
Like magic, it happens. Nothing is more dear to my heart than to see this unfold every year. It's truly amazing and it changes everything for the rest of the year. Read the questions below and I'll explain my reasons for the project above.
We began looking at the first two questions and as we did the children began learning about their crew mates families and with great joy they found that many of them looked like their own.  We had some very heart-felt conversations about our families and we have learned what a family means.  Ask your child what we have decided a family is.  And as we realized we are different at home but the same family at school, it became apparent to me that this crew needed to feel like they had a day-tiime family that they belonged to. So...we drew ourselves and placed them around the heart.
We ARE a family that can take risks together.  It's the love that makes it so.
