What has happened when
different national, ethnic, and cultural groups have met in New Hampshire?

K-3 students should be able
to: identify and describe how national, ethnic, and cultural
groups in the students' own households, school, community, and region have
expressed and transmitted their beliefs and ways (such as
through oral traditions,
literature, songs, art, religion, community celebrations, mementos, food,
and language).
1. Find and ask members
of the community or region with diverse ancestries to speak to the class
about their cultural heritage. On a map of the world, find and identify
the places of origin of these diverse ancestries.
2. Identify, list, and show
examples of foods, household items, clothing, words, celebrations, songs,
and other items used in the students' own homes, school, community, and
region that originated in diverse cultures or nations.
3. Bring examples to class
of foods such as potatoes, maple syrup, pumpkins, beans, and tapioca that
originated in the Americas. Also bring examples of foods such as kiwis
and oranges that were introduced to the Americas from abroad.
