A Marvelous Journey: Calling from Greece to a U.S. Classroom
Holman, Lana; Sucich, John
Social Studies and the Young Learner, v19 n3 p20-23 Jan-Feb 2007
A unit of study on Ancient Greece is a part of the fourth grade social studies curriculum at Belmont Day School. The students spend 10 weeks exploring Greek history and mythology. This article discusses a new project that the authors conducted, wherein one of them was going to Greece on a study tour, while the other one stays in Belmont Day School. The first author in this article incidentally is a fourth-grade teacher at Belmont Day School. While she was on a study tour in Greece, the other author chose to have his students write an investigative article about one of the sites that she was going to visit. (Contains 1 note.)
