One World, One Day

K-2 students have been in the library reading the book One World, One Day by Barbara Kerley and doing a lesson on the Smart Board.  It's one of the Armadillo Books- a list developed by RRISD librarians.  In the book, students see a day in the life of children all around the world.  We are alike, but not the same.   Students are becoming more open-minded when they see how other children live. The lesson on the Smart-Board helped build knowledge of where some of the countries in book are. Students used a virtual map and pushpin to find the countries and reflect on how we are all connected!
