Exploring the world from their BKW classrooms

How do people in other countries greet each other? What do they eat and what are their family meals like? What about people right here at home?

BKW’s second grade classes took a virtual field trip last week to the World Awareness Children’s Museum in Glens Falls to participate in their program, “Me in My Diverse Community.” The second graders and their teachers Alyssa Smith, Brenda Robichaud, Lisa Amigo-Nolan and Charity Petti explored the people and places that make up their own community, as well as communities around the world.

Using virtual interactive tools on Nearpod, the students were able to view artwork from the museum and interact with one another. They learned about the different ways people in other countries greet each other and the food they eat. The students also created illustrations of their own family meals.
