Summer is almost here and BoardBuzz checked in with the KidsPost to see how students are finishing up the academic year.
We were excited to see it had a recommendation for summer reading, and their suggestion got BoardBuzz’s stamp of approval. Make sure to check it out… we think it’s something parents and kids will like!
The book, A School Like Mine, takes readers to 30 different countries over the globe to see the daily life of students. Young readers can gain an awareness of different cultures’ day-to-day activities and find out how others their age learn, socialize, play, and spend time with family.
For a sneak peek, check out the article here. We found the children’s stories interesting and captivating. For instance, Fanny, a nine year-old from Germany, talks about life at modern school that uses solar panels for heating classrooms and Sibusiso, an 11 year-old from South Africa, who walks 5 miles to school every day from his family’s home on a strawberry farm.
Besides it’s enriching stories, there is an extra incentive to purchase the book. If you decide to to grab a copy, its publisher will make a donation to the United Nations Children’s Fund (UNICEF). BoardBuzz loves reading (and shopping) for a good cause.
BoardBuzz is excited that children have the opportunity to learn about unique school days across the world from individual student’s experiences. If you check it out, leave a comment and let us know what you think.
