This document outlines the Who We Are unit for a kindergarten class. It introduces the central idea that a person's identity is shaped by important people and experiences in their lives. It lists the learner's interests, abilities, and relationships as lines of inquiry. It then describes how the class created a museum to teach visitors about themselves, displaying objects and information about who and what is important to individual students and the teacher. They shared their museum with other classes and families.
