Grade 3

Family History

by Mrs. Emily Tran

Where did we come from? What are our origins? What has shaped us into who we are today? What do we want to pass on to our children? All of these are questions that grade three has been asking as we inquire into how family histories provide insights into our past, present and future. It is important to learn from the past and identify God’s faithfulness in history. Let us count our blessings, make choices today with our future generations in mind! Here are some of our family trees and timelines that have helped us understand more about our past.
