Many Cultures, One School
Two students went on an educational, cultural journey over several months, during which they learned about and shared each other's family heritage. The students engaged in classroom lessons and experiences across the curriculum, including science, social studies, language arts, math, library, music, art, and PE. Age-appropriate activities for each grade level focused on various cultural backgrounds.
Each classroom conducted an in-depth study of a country (incorporating Google Expedition). All students visited each room with passports in a museum-style gallery and walked through the building. Linden's parents shared their knowledge and talents to participate in educating students during classroom visits and at an International Festival evening event. The sharing of unique cultural differences highlighted the strengths and similarities that make up One Linden Avenue School Community.
