Children Around the World Pathfinder


Children Around the World
Discover Cultural Diversity. . . . Provide your students with a look into the diversity of cultures around the world with this exciting pathfinder. Children need to be taught that there is more than one way to build a house, go to the market, cook food, dress, and travel from place to place. Studying other cultures provides insights into the unique and valuable differences between cultures. While our differences make us unique from other cultures, our similarities bind us together. Multiculturalism helps children recognize and appreciate the many similarities we all share. If you want a guide to widen students' visions, deepen their understanding, and extend their experiences with diverse cultures, look no further. . . .
