Freddie fish was so excited to have his 

first day at his new school. He had just 

moved in with his new family and was 

finally ready to start school. 

His mom wished him luck as he swam 

off to school. 

When Freddie got in his class, Mr. Crab 

introduced him to the other students and 

he found an open spot next to Sally 

seahorse. 

"Alright class," said Mr. Crab, "Lets talk 

about our class project!" 

"A project," thought Freddie, "I wonder 

what it will be?"

Mr. Crab said "We will be making collages of 

our family tree. Please use pictures of grand 

parents and parents, siblings and cousins, to 

show the class your family. Also add things 

that are important to your families culture like 

objects, recipes, clothes, and other things that 

are important to you."

 Freddie felt confused. He came from a 

different background than his parents did but 

they were still a family. He thought about his 

new family and they did look very different 

from him. 

"What does a family mean to you?" 

Freddie asked Sally.

"To be a family you have to be the 

same and there is mom and a dad," she 

chuckled, "If you don't look like your 

parents then they aren't really yours."

Freddie didn't know what to think. 

Freddie was so upset he rushed home. He 

swam so fast he knocked right into Pete 

the puffer fish who puffed all the way up! 

Freddie didn't even stop and apologize. He 

needed to talk to his mom.

"Mom! Dad! I have a project to do and I 

don't think I can do it," he yelled.

"What do you mean son," his dad 

asked.

"Well it's a family project but your not 

my real family. How can I do it if I don't 

have real parents," he shouted as he 

cried.
