One of the best part of having students that travel the world is the experiences and knowledge that they are able to share with their peers. One of our classmates traveled to Hong Kong and Japan, another traveled to Mexico. Yet another traveled to India. These students shared the differences in geograpy, climate, food and interestingly enough, money! Students were fascinated by how currency looks in other countries. So we picked a day and kids brought in coins from their travels. We had rich conversations about the physical attributes of the coins and the value of the coins in comparison to American currency. All coins were returned home safely!
The end of the school year is upon us and this week students had a blast on F day - Flying Paper Airplanes. Students watched videos on how to make airplanes and why they work. Students had fun at the end of the day testing the aerodynamics of the paper airplanes.
