What Does it Mean to be Multicultural?

According to Merriam Webster, multicultural means "of, relating to, reflecting, or adapted to diverse cultures."
In the classroom, children are invited to share their cultures, customs, and family traditions.  The following literature and activities invite parents, grandparents, aunts, and uncles to get involved and share their cultures, family customs, and traditions with their children!  Remember, this is a great learning opportunity for all involved!
