This school year I had a travel theme in my classroom. Traveling and culture is so important to me that I wanted to share that with my kids. I decided that they would have their very own passports and that we would "travel" to different places around the world each month so that they could learn about places that may seem completely foreign to them from their perspective in Santaquin, Utah. I had some amazing people that were willing to come and help me!! Each of them was so unique and it was so fun to see them put their own little spin on teaching the kids!
FRANCE
Literally every kid mentioned something about how gross the cheese was ha! But I was just proud of them for trying it!
SOUTH AFRICA
I was seriously laughing the whole time during this one. Tyler is a crackup! He got the kids involved which I loved.
ISRAEL
I taught them about Jerusalem, but it's not as exciting when your teacher that you hear from every day shares. They were still great listeners though!
HONDURAS
Emily did a cute little treasure hunt for them through powerpoint. It was the cutest! They also got to have a little dance party and loved that!
THAILAND
Kenz was in America for like .3 seconds but I made her come in and share some of her travels! This was cool because she got to show them pictures of the school she worked at and the kids could connect to other students around the world!
AUSTRIA
TONGA
This was such a unique culture for them. I love hearing them try all the different languages. Edgar got dressed up in traditional clothing, we talked a lot about Moana ha! and then they learned this cute dance!
It still amazes me how diverse our world is and how unique each culture is. I'm so grateful to have caught just a small glimpse of each of these countries and to learn about what is important to them and how the people live. I hope it was as meaningful to my kids as it was to me!

Gabe legit had them convinced that his name was Hans and that he came straight from Austria. It was the best.
