Hometowns (Grade 1, Unit 6)
Here are some of the best Web sites to use while teaching this unit.
The Elementary Heritage Salad Bowl
The "ingredients" in this salad bowl include family stories, interviews, and pictures from different lands. Have children work together to add stories about their community to this ever-growing and flavorful salad.

Virtual Field Trip of Hawaii
This site, devoted to one of the Hawaiian Islands, includes a photo tour. After children take the tour, have them write and illustrate diary entries about their trips.
