Pennoyer curriculum spans globe
December 30, 2010
Students at Pennoyer School District 79 will go beyond the classroom as part of their social studies class with a long-term curriculum/instructional project.
Janelle Santos, a Pennoyer class of 2002 graduate serving in the Peace Corps in Pohnpei, an island that is a part of the Federated States of Micronesia, will correspond with the sixth-grade social studies classes over the next two years exchanging pictures and stories in an effort to inspire learning about geography, culture and people on the other side of the globe.
The students have already worked in groups and came up with a first round of questions for Santos.
Santos will visit the classroom to meet the students and do a show-and-tell visit in two years.
