A FAMILY CREST

A family crest is an artistic symbol of one’s family's heritage. It has long been a symbol of a family's identity and values. These family crests have been passed down throughout generations. 

Creating a family crest was a wonderful challenge for our students because it encouraged kids to weigh personal values and think about how to symbolically and artistically represent them. Students came up with some great ideas and presented them by creating their very own family crests. Each one of them stood up to share with the class their story behind the crest. It was great to hear that each member of their family had made some contribution in making these memorable family crests. Well done kids!! J
