Schools Around the World
In Fourth Grade we have already started our focus on global studies. Over the summer, the girls all read a short biography about the young, Nobel Peace Prize winning, Malala Yousafzai. In the first week of school, our discussion of her amazing story and her commitment to education led to an even bigger discussion about schools and education around the world. For the last three weeks, the girls have been working in small groups to learn more about education in other countries. After individually researching countries and writing short reports, the girls came together in their groups to create posters that illustrate the lives of school children in each continent. This week, we have ended this unit by watching a documentary that chronicles the journeys of four young children around the world on their walks to school. Chat with your daughter about what she has learned in our studies so far, and check out some photos and the movie trailer below!
