Summer is fast approaching!  Parents, students and teachers are beginning to feel a sense of relief and excitement as the school year wraps up and summertime planning begins. We hope you have a wonderful vacation and get a chance to relax with a book, enjoy the great outdoors and take a family trip! 

 

We've added a new ordering page and have already shipped items to schools.  If you haven't placed your order yet, please do so by July 15 in order to ensure delivery before school begins in the fall.

 

Have a refreshing and restful summer!

Classroom Resources and Ideas
Summertime Reading and Movies

Take time this summer to explore the the world from the comfort of your own home.  We have been collecting a list of recommended books for children that introduce them to people and places around the world.  At the Same Moment, Around the World  is a picture book that teaches about time-zones and highlights the lives of people in other countries.


Many classic Disney books and movies have settings based on real places or landmarks around the world. See if you and your children are able to recognize the locations of these movies. Investigate the cultural icons and the countries they represent through links on our Pinterest page.  
Not Just For Kids!
Coffee Around the World

Coffee is said to have originated in Arabia.  Thanks to traders and explorers, it is a universal drink.  Take a virtual trip to another country this summer and try these recipes for the various ways in which people enjoy their cup of coffee.  Someday we hope to try the real thing on location!
