Teaching stories: November 8

Today in Humanities included letters and cookies. My kiddos were thrilled to receive the first letters from their Peace Pals from Kenya. They excitedly read through their letters and shared with each other. I heard several kids say how they were perfectly matched based on their interests. Sigh. It was a good day. It’s our fourth year working with @global1to1 to connect our 8th graders to students in Nigeria and Kenya. I love this program and I am profoundly grateful for the vision and commitment to international peace and mutual understanding that is the hallmark to this incredible, Albuquerque-based program in addition to a donor within our school community who funds our students’ yearly participation.
