My Family Culture

Considering the catastrophic event, the three things I would take to represent my culture would be:

  • Guam flag
  • Latte stone piece
  • Picture of Guam 
I think the flag is a large representation of any culture and anyone's society. The flag represents the uniformity of the area and I believe that it is something easily recognized by other countries/cultures. It's a defining piece that people use to represent their culture or background. 

The Latte stone is specific to Guam and its heritage. It represents the foundation of society and the pieces come together to build from the base up. 

Lastly, a picture of Guam simply to remember what it looks like and to never forget the sight. 

If I was told I had to give something up, it would be a difficult toss-up between the picture and the flag. Both are dominant pieces that can be considered incredibly useful in explaining my culture to someone else.

    Hi Catherine,

    Taking Guam flag was interesting! I never thought about that. I think most people think about family photos. I like how you did every thing based on your country. Great blog!!

    Hi Catherine,
    Great idea in using your country's flag to represent your culture, every flag in each country represents their history, values and cultural traditions. Good thinking, I wouldn't of every thought of this.

My Connections to Play

  • "Play gives children a chance to practice what they are learning." By Fred Rogers
  • “The activities that are the easiest, cheapest, and most fun to do – such as singing, playing games, reading, storytelling, and just talking and listening – are also the best for child development.” ~ Jerome Singer (professor, Yale University)
  • “As astronauts and space travelers children puzzle over the future; as dinosaurs and princesses they unearth the past. As weather reporters and restaurant workers they make sense of reality; as monsters and gremlins they make sense of the unreal.” ~ Gretchen Owocki (childhood educator)
