Students all over the world

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.
