This workbook comprises eight lessons designed to enhance the self-esteem of Latino students, grades 5 through 8, through the exploration of family, family traditions and values, and the affirmation of family strengths. Each lesson begins with an illustration that reflects the content of the lesson and an introductory page. Each introductory page contains the following: (1) a "dicho," a saying or expression used to express and pass on values and beliefs in Latino families; (2) a summary of the lesson; and (3) the "Sabes Que?," intended to provide another small bit of information on Latino family traditions that will strengthen understanding of different Latino customs that have to do with family life and customs. All the student materials necessary to complete the lesson are presented, including the following: (1) stories; (2) student activity sheets; and (3) blank note pages. A chart illustrating changes in Latino families in the United States is also included. The appendices comprise the following: (1) a list of "dichos"; (2) a Spanish word list; and (3) a glossary of special terms. (FMW)
