Grandparents As Teachers

8/24/2017

Grandparents As Teachers with FREE Printables from GrowingLittleLeaves.com
Grandparents Day is coming up on Sunday, September 10, so I have been thinking a lot about ways in which to remember, honor, and document our relationships with our grandparents. 

When my brother and I were young children, there was a period during which both of our parents were working full time and our grandparents watched us during the day. And I was thinking about that time the other day and realized how much our grandma and grandpa taught us while they were caring for us.

Naturally, my grandparents had a role in teaching us how to be nice to each other and how to use good manners and things of that nature, but they also taught us a lot of practical skills. My grandmother taught me how to sew a button. She would give me an old sock and her tin of random buttons, and I would just keep sewing on buttons until my fingers hurt. My grandfather taught us how to play the card game, Uno. He also taught my brother how to play chess, but I didn't have the patience for it at the time. He was a woodworking hobbyist, and he taught us how to hammer a nail and use a vise to hold things while you were working on them.

These may seem like small little everyday memories, but now that my grandparents are gone, they mean the world to me. I want to document those memories, so my kids have some insights into my relationship with my grandparents. I also want my kids to think about what their grandparents have taught them (and are still teaching them). 

I created these simple printables for getting kids to think about how their grandparents have been a teacher to them. Please feel free to use them with your family, playgroup, or church group. This activity is not limited to children - adults can and should also write about or draw what their grandparents taught them. My intents for these worksheets are: 1.) To get families talking about the importance of the grandparent-grandchild relationship and 2.) To provide a concrete, kid-friendly way in which to document some of our everyday memories of our grandparents. (Click on either image to download the two-page PDF.)

I also want to draw your attention to a Grandparents Day campaign organized by CaringAcrossGenerations.org, to let your lawmakers know how much we value the aging population AND the caregivers who dedicate their lives to upholding their quality of life. If you go to this website (postcards.care), you can create a postcard. Upload a photo of a loved one, briefly tell their story or say why they matter to you, and the postcard will be sent to your Senators, free of charge.

Sibling Perspectives and Family History

7/27/2017

1 Comment

 
Sibling Perspectives and Family History // GrowingLittleLeaves.com
This morning I watched a documentary called Shalom Italia on the PBS app. It's the story of three elderly Jewish brothers who travel back to their childhood home in Tuscany to remember their lives and struggles during WWII, and to search for a cave in the woods where their family hid from authorities to avoid deportation and death. 

The film makers did a wonderful job of revealing the emotional and social dynamics between the brothers and in exploring the memories each brother retained from this time period in their lives. As a family historian, it was so interesting to hear the differences in each brother's memories and in the emotions they associated with those memories. The eldest brother felt nothing but pain and suffering in his memories and lamented his experiences in having to grow up too soon. When they visited their childhood home, the middle brother remarked that he remembered good times there. The youngest brother remembered hiding in the cave, as a five year old, and not being able to yell or cry about anything, no matter what.  Have you experienced this in your family history? Have different members your family, even members of the same generation, recalled experiences or events differently in their written or oral histories? 

As a family historian, I think it's important to be aware of how personal histories and memories can be shaped by things like age and birth order. Older children are often given more responsibility in times of distress, and often are thrown into the role of provider and protector. Younger children may remain blissfully ignorant of what's happening around them, and, therefore, they might have these sort of peripheral memories that can be both sweet and poignant. Older children typically remember their elders better than younger siblings, while younger siblings may better remember household events that occurred after their older siblings had moved out to attend college or get married.

This is a discussion we can and should engage our young people in, especially for young people interested in genealogy. I also think that having this discussion with your family members can help each child develop a sense of empathy towards their siblings and a respect for the unique challenges each member of the family experiences within the family dynamic as a whole.

​Activity: Sit down with your children and/or grandchildren sometime and ask them to remember a particular event or period in time. It could be a major family event like moving to a new place or a vacation or a reunion, or it could be a time when something unusual or even traumatic happened in your family or community. Ask each child to write down or draw what they remember and how they felt during that time. Urge them to be honest and open with their memories. Then, go around individually and share those memories with each other. Everyone will quickly see how each person has different perspectives of the same events and time periods. Consider discussing these questions with your family members:

How does each person's individual memories of a time or event shape a family's history?

How do the emotions we are feeling at a particular time affect how we remember events? Are you personally more likely to want to write down memories from the good times in your life or from the more challenging times of your life?


Is there such a thing as having 'right' or 'wrong' emotions associated with particular family events?

How can we work together to compose a family history that is loyal and sensitive to each family member's perspective of events, even when those perspectives conflict?

How has this activity changed how you will interpret your ancestors' personal journals and/or oral histories?


Hopefully, these questions will get a good discussion going amongst family members, and help them think more deeply about this very human (and, therefore, complex) aspect to family history. This activity is also beneficial to do with older generations at reunions or extended family gatherings. As we age, we lose some memories, but, in some ways, losing memories can make the strongest ones stand out in our minds, so it becomes interesting to hear what older people remember about not only family events, but also major news events, like the JFK assassination or the moon landing. Interviewing adult siblings together as a group can be quite eye-opening, and can help you understand that particular family's dynamic in a way that no photo or document really ever could.

You can watch Shalom Italia on PBS.org until August 6, 2017.

Mother's Day Adjective Worksheets

4/20/2017

FREE Mother's Day Adjective Worksheets from GrowingLittleLeaves.com
The other day, my Kindergartner brought home a worksheet about adjectives ('describing words,' as they call them). And that gave me an idea for some Mother's Day-themed worksheets involving adjectives. 

I always love it when my kids bring home crafts, worksheets, or other projects from school that show they were thinking of me or another family member. These worksheets will encourage kids to think of words to describe their mom, or a person in their life who acts as a mother figure.

The first worksheet is very simple and includes ten boxes in which a child can write descriptive words about their mom and draw a picture of her. (If a child is not yet writing, have an adult write down what they say.)

​The second worksheet includes a flower on which the child can draw or glue a photo (of any mother figure in their lives) in the center and write a descriptive word in each flower petal. The flower can then be cut out and given to that person for Mother's Day. This flower worksheet may also be used to honor a deceased mother figure in your family. Encouraging kids to write down their memories of loved ones, even if it is just one word at a time, is an important step in learning how to document family history and memories.

I hope that you and the children in your life find these worksheets helpful and enjoyable as you and your family prepare to celebrate Mother's Day next month.

Our Ancestors' Wildest Dreams

2/16/2017

"I am my ancestors' wildest dreams."

Our Ancestors' Wildest Dreams // GrowingLittleLeaves.com
Have you seen this quote? Powerful, isn't it? From the best I can tell, this statement originated with Brandan Odums, a visual artist, activist, and filmmaker from New Orleans. The statement originated in his artwork and can now be found on t-shirts and prints, which you can purchase here.  

When we say that something is in our 'wildest dreams,' we are usually talking about something SO out-of-reach, SO absurd, that it is just ridiculous to ever conceive of it happening. When we think about what our ancestors' 'wildest dreams' were when they were alive, we finally get a sense of how far we have progressed, within both our society and our individual families, through the generations. 

What were our ancestors' wildest dreams?
Freedom
Equality
Respect
Acceptance
A Voice
​Safety
Shelter
Education
Work and Financial Independence
Health Care
Sanitation


Overall, our ancestors' deepest, wildest dreams were that their descendants would somehow have it better than they did, and that their children would continue to strive to help the next generation achieve more through the years.

That list above are things that most of us take for granted on a regular basis. But they were out of reach to many of our ancestors. (And' unfortunately, they are still out of reach to many people throughout the world today.) 

I want to write this statement on my kids' school folders, so that they see it every day. It's a strong reminder that encourages appreciation and gratitude for the sacrifices, sufferings, and works of our ancestors. When I read it, I am humbled. But the statement also brings to me a sense of self-worth and a unique feeling of importance, knowing that I am the fulfillment of another person's dreams and hard work of the past. It is empowering. This statement has the ability to boost the self-esteem and motivation of anyone who may be struggling with questions of identity or purpose, or for those longing for a connection to something bigger than themselves.
​
I've designed a short one-page writing lesson for kids (upper-elementary and above) to help them think about this concept a little bit more. My hopes are that completing these questions will give kids a better perspective of how they fit into their family's story, encourage them to think more about the sacrifices and struggles of family members who persevered before them, and maybe even remind them of their duty to the next generation.

Learning Empathy From Our Ancestors' Adversities

11/23/2016

Helping Kids Learn Empathy From Our Ancestors' Adversities (And A Call To Action) with FREE Worksheet Download from GrowingLittleLeaves.com
Tomorrow, here in the United States, we celebrate Thanksgiving. We reflect on the blessings we've received over the past year, visit with loved ones, and enjoy a good meal.

Hopefully, at these family gatherings, we also remember the loved ones who are no longer with us. As genealogists, through our research, we know all too well how much our ancestors sacrificed and struggled over the decades and centuries to make our modern freedoms and comforts possible.

When teaching our children family history, I advocate sharing with them the good stories as well as the bad. Research has shown that children who know more about the full spectrum of their ancestors' experiences (the triumphs AND the struggles), have more self-confidence and bounce back from adversity better than children who know little of their family's past.
​
I am also an advocate of using the stories from our family histories to promote within our children modern-day empathy for the people around them and the trials they face everyday. In addition, we want that empathy to lead to action, right? We want our children to not only empathize with others in times of trouble, but to want to help them as well. 

This two-page worksheet set is designed to help kids make that connection between an ancestor's story and the difficult life events sometimes experienced by those around them. How can I help a child whose parent just lost his/her job? How can I bring happiness to a someone who is sick and stuck in a hospital? How can I help a classmate who is criticized because of a foreign accent, skin color, or religious beliefs? How can I help a family who just lost a loved one? The list goes on and on.

Family Photo Worksheets

10/17/2016

0 Comments

 
Identifying and documenting family photos is an important aspect of preserving family history. When I was a kid, I remember looking through photos that my mom had just had developed (at the grocery store!) and I even remember helping her put them into photo albums. Unfortunately, in the age of digital photography, most kids these days do not spend much, if any, time holding and looking at physical prints of photographs, which is a shame because photos are one of the most engaging primary sources that family historians use to document family history.

I created a couple of simple notebooking worksheets that will help elementary-aged kids examine. family photos, and even give them a hand in documenting them. The worksheets are identical, except one is for horizontally-oriented photos and the other is for vertically-oriented ones. Click on each image to be directed to a downloadable PDF.

And, just for fun, I also created a 'Hashtag a Family Photo' worksheet. For young people who use social media apps like Twitter and Instagram, communicating in hashtags is almost like its own language. For those not familiar with them, hashtags are labels put on photos or tweets (using the # symbol) that help classify them and help other people on that network find them.

This worksheet would be a lot of fun at family reunions. Give everyone a copy with the same family photo on it and ask each person to create hashtags. Then, read them aloud to everyone. Social media hashtags can get pretty comical at times, and I think the same thing would happen at a reunion. And this is a great way to engage young people at reunions in a 'language' they can understand and relate to.

10 FREE Cursive Handwriting Resources

9/14/2016

1 Comment

 
10 FREE Cursive Handwriting Resources from GrowingLittleLeaves.com
One question that I am asked fairly frequently is:

"How do you teach genealogy to a group of children when everyone's family tree is different?

It's a great question, and I usually respond by saying that genealogy SKILLS can be taught without getting into specifics of everyone's lineage. You might not even think about it as you are actively researching, but we use a LOT of learned skills when we are searching out and learning about our ancestors, and many of those skills can (and should) be taught to kids.

For example, knowing how to read cursive handwriting is a skill that is crucial for us to learn in order to read and interpret letters and documents of the past. And the first step in learning how to read cursive is learning how to write it.

Below, I have compiled a list of the ten best FREE online resources for teaching elementary-aged children how to write cursive. Many schools today do not have cursive in their regular curriculum, but it is easy to teach your child the basics of cursive at home in very little time. Because it is NOT in the schools, many kids today do not perceive it as 'schoolwork'; instead they see it as more of an art, and they are more inclined to practice it, especially if they naturally enjoy drawing or using their hands to create.

Most of the resources listed below include FREE printable worksheets, and I've also included a couple of YouTube videos that I think do a great job of demonstrating the cursive strokes and letter formation.

1.) The HEV Project: How To Write in Cursive - A Complete Course
Comprehensive series of short YouTube videos AND corresponding worksheets for learning cursive handwriting. I've linked to one of the videos below.

​2.) Free Cursive Handwriting Worksheets: FreeHomeschoolDeals.com and This Reading Mama
Fifty-five page handwriting pack.

3.)  
McGraw-Hill Grade 3 Handwriting Workbook (80 pages)
Full-length penmanship textbook.
​​
​
4.) Super Smart Kids Club: Cursive Writing Complete A-Z Uppercase + Lowercase
An extended comprehensive YouTube video demonstrating strokes for each uppercase and lowercase letter with a fun cartoon-like interface.
5.) A-Z Cursive Handwriting Worksheets from Confessions of a Homeschooler (29 pages)
Cute color pages for tracing and freewriting each letter of the alphabet. Includes a 'starter' dot for each letter repetition to guide kids where to start each letter formation.


6.) Cursive Writing Worksheets from K5Learning.com

​
7.) HandWritingWorksheets.com
Create custom cursive worksheets for practicing individual words, sentences, or entire paragraphs.

8.) Cursive Bible ABCs from BibleStoryPrintables.com
A nice resource integrating cursive education with Bible stories and vocabulary.

​9.) Cursive Handwriting Practice from WorksheetWorks.com
Another nice site that generates custom cursive practice worksheets.

10.) Cursive Alphabet Worksheets from K12Reader.com
Nice, color practice printables for every letter of the alphabet.


So, I encourage you to check out these resources and consider teaching the children in your life cursive handwriting. Once they get a little practice with it, show them a cursive-written  letter or other document from your family history files, and have them try to read it. Many kids will be excited at the prospect of being able to "decode" writing that they, at one time, could not read, and hopefully they will continue to search out more documents to keep practicing their new skill!

Learning About The Census

4/27/2016

Learning About The Census // GrowingLittleLeaves.com
Some of the most important and powerful tools genealogists use to learn about our family histories are census records. But have you ever tried showing a 100-year old census form to a child? Take my word for it, it doesn't go well, and their eyes glaze over quicker than you can explain what a census is.

So, I was on a mission to find a simplified, interactive way to introduce my kids to censuses, which includes teaching them WHAT a census is and WHY we have them. Fortunately, there is a great children's book that helped me to do so. It's called Tricking the Tallyman by Jacqueline Davies and illustrated by S. D. Schindler. The story takes takes places in Vermont in 1790, during the nation's very first census. The story follows the experiences of Phineas Bump, the census-taker,   as he attempts to collect an accurate tally of the town of Tunbridge. First, the villagers hide people because they think it will mean more taxes and conscription. Then, on his second try, they inflate numbers because they hear it will be more government representation. When the villagers realize it will bring both more taxes and representation, they cooperate with Phineas and he does get an accurate count in the end. There is a lot of mischief going on in this book, which makes it fun for kids, plus the illustrations are very educational in teaching kids about what people wore and about the types of homes in which they lived back then.

I made two worksheets for kids who want to 'play census.' One is geared towards older children who can read and write independently, but it is still a simplified version of a census form. The other form is much simpler still, and is meant to be used by kids who are not yet reading independently. An adult or older sibling will still have to help a young child out, but the pictures above the columns (for house number, adult men, adult women, boy children, and girl children) will help the child better visualize what he/she is counting. There is even a place for them to do some simple adding of their tally marks. (Click on each image to open the PDFs.)

I played census with my 5yo daughter on our front porch. She was the census-taker. We dressed her up in old-time 'fancy' clothes and I gave her a clipboard and a pencil. She took her job very seriously.

If you are friends with your neighbors, ask if your child can come to their door as well to record their family. Or, set up little 'households' with dolls or stuffed animals, so your child will have more 'families' to record.

Once they understand what a census is and how it was accomplished, THEN you can start showing kids actual census schedules on which their ancestors are recorded and talking with them about all the helpful information that we can learn from those records.

Celebrating Female Ancestors

3/9/2016

Celebrating Female Ancestors // GrowingLittleLeaves.com
March is Women's History Month, so it's a great time to talk with kids about not only famous women in history, but also the women in each of our individual family histories. And, like women in general history, the women in our family histories often do not get the proper credit they deserve for the influential roles they played in shaping our families. 

My daughter is only five years old, but even at this young age, I want her begin to develop a sense of how far women's rights have come in a relatively short amount of time. She already knows that she can become anything she wants to be in life, but I want her to realize that the female ancestors whose genes she shares did not have opportunities to vote or attend school or own property. Yet those women still exhibited strength, talent, fortitude, and perseverance in everyday situations that helped their families survive and thrive. 


I created a simple worksheet my kids and I could complete together that would give us a jumping-off point for this discussion. It's not meant to be a long, comprehensive writing exercise, but instead a way for kids to simply list some of the accomplishments of a female ancestor. 

Talking about female accomplishments of the past will likely involve teaching your kids a little about what life was like in the time and location in which their ancestors lived. For example, raising eight children in a poor farming family in the 1800s was a major accomplishment involving lots of manual labor, cooking, and gardening skills. Being able to sew or quilt or embroider was not only a nice artistic talent to have, but could also help clothe your family and raise money from the sale of your creations. So, while most women who lived 100 years ago didn't have jobs outside of the home, they contributed critical skills to their families and communities. 


For this exercise, I told my daughter the story of Anna Rasing Tumbusch, one of her 3rd great-grandmothers. Anna sailed to the U.S. from Germany in 1861 and settled in western Ohio. Making that decision to leave one's home country for a new land shows courage, and we talked about it as a major life accomplishment. Unfortunately, Anna's husband, Theodor, passed away when he was only 36 years old. She never remarried and raised four children alone AND ran the small family farm alone as well. I helped my daughter write these down on the worksheet, and tried to explain to her how much strength this woman must have had to keep her family going from day to day.

Celebrating Family Creativity

Celebrating Family Creativity with FREE Worksheet from GrowingLittleLeaves.com
I've been thinking about creativity a lot over the past week, not in small part because the world lost one of its most creative and expressive people of our time when musician David Bowie passed away last weekend. 
​
We are fortunate that David Bowie left us with a vast collection of music and performances with which to remember him, but how do YOU, as a family historian, preserve the originality and imagination that runs through YOUR family? Do you maintain notes or images of ancestors' creations in your family tree database programs? Do you write about the creative talents of past family members on your genealogy blog? Do you discuss those talents with the younger members of your family?

I firmly believe in helping children develop their own senses of creativity at all stages of development. Fostering creativity in day-to-day life helps children develop empathy, understanding, and compassion, not to mention an ability to see things from different perspectives, which is a necessary part of invention and innovation. And, like so many other things, family history can help children discover the creative talents that wait inside of them, ready to emerge at first inspiration. 

Though you may not have any famous, professional creative artists in your family tree, the personal creativity of our ancestors was expressed at many levels in many different ways. Read through this list while thinking of only the grandparents and/or great-grandparents you knew, and I guarantee you will find evidence of the creative spirit. And today, creativity can be found in many technical and computerized professional fields, so don't forget to talk about current family members when it comes to creativity, too!

Woodworking, metalworking
Embroidery, sewing, knitting, crochet, needlepoint, weaving, quilting, cross-stitch
Painting, drawing, sculpting
Dance
Singing, playing, composing music
Fashion - designing, creating, wearing
Cooking, baking, cake and cookie decorating

Writing - journals, stories, poetry
Theater writing and acting
Flower/garden designing
Photography, videography
Designing and building structures
Writing computer programs
Computer graphic design
Tattooing (Many tattoo artists are incredibly talented, creative people!)
​
It's important, when talking with children about their ancestors, to not only discuss the factual, mechanical details of their lives, but also, as much as possible, to try to give children a sense of their ancestors' personalities, and creativity is a big part of one's overall persona. Do you have something physical that an ancestor made? Show it to the children in your family. Do you have journals or stories or poems that an ancestor wrote? Read them to the children. Do you have sound or video recordings of a family member performing in some capacity? Play them for the children. Even if all you have are simple photos or newspaper clippings or memories attesting to a past family member's creative hobbies and talents, share them with children, and emphasize the joy those family members found and expressed to others within their creative mediums.

I've created another of my family history 'notebooking' worksheets where children can either write or draw about the creative talents and hobbies of their family members. When used in conjunction with some of my other (free) ancestor worksheets, which can be found here, you and your child can create a binder full of ancestor facts for kids to collect and browse through while learning about family history. Click on the image below to open a PDF of the 'Our Family's Creativity' worksheet, which is six pages in length. Pages two through six can be printed off as often as needed so that you can add as many family members as you want to your notebook. And don't forget to ask the child to include him/herself on the worksheet, showcasing his/her creative abilities.
