This week as part of our Life Cycles unit we have been learning about the word "generation", defined as all the children born to, or raised by, their parent or parents. In a large family, the oldest generation may include all the great-grandparents and great-great aunts and uncles; the next generation includes the grandparents and great aunts and uncles; the third generation has all the parents, aunts and uncles; and the newest generation, the children (brothers/sisters) and cousins.
We created an example of a baby, her mother and grandmother on a timeline. We have also been reading books about families and discussing similarities and differences between our own families, including family structure and family traditions.
