Global Book: Schools Around the World

As part of the first grade curriculum at Avenues: The World School, the students learn about their own school environment and how it functions. Within this unit of study, the first graders learned that everyone is at school to grow and learn, that it takes many people to help a school function, and that collaboration and cooperation are beneficial in a school environment.


In learning about their own school, the students wondered about what other schools and classrooms were like around the world. So we began looking for other classroom collaborators to help us create a book about schools around the world.
