Our Families

Small children like to do things by themselves. But as children grow, they discover that our society--our economy--depends on people working together. And it all starts with the people with whom we live. JA volunteers use a combination of pictures, stickers, and flashcards to engage students in activities about needs and wants, jobs, tools and skills, and interdependence.

Our Families discusses the role of families in the local economy.

See the Scope and Sequence for a complete listing of program concepts and skills.

		Each Our Families program kit comes with an informative teacher/volunteer handbook as pictured here.  For more info about this program, read the program summary.
