All Around the World with Heart House 🌍🏠

D'Andre (bottom center) and some of our K-2nd grade students with their Maasai necklaces

Last month, our teachers and students began their Around the World unit! In this unit, students studied countries all across the globe and completed fun crafts and projects. This unit was all about experiencing and understanding the history, traditions, and ways of life in other lands.

Our students kicked off the Around the World unit by learning about art in different countries.

Maasai necklaces are disc shaped necklaces made and worn by the Maasai people of Kenya & Tanzania. Our students made their own Maasai necklace by decorating Styrofoam plates! Students used their knowledge of the Maasai people along with their own creativity to make their own unique necklace.

✈️ Class Passports ✈️

In Ms. Divina's 3rd - 5th grade class, each student received their own Heart House Passport! Each day, the students completed different lessons about different countries and then earned a passport stamp for that country.

Students earned their stamp for Tanzania through their Maasai necklaces. To earn a stamp for Thailand, students worked with their classmates to cook fresh spring rolls.

Our kids loved cooking with their teacher, almost as much as they loved eating their handmade cuisine!

On another lesson day, students learned about weaving techniques of indigenous peoples in North and South America.

Throughout this unit, Heart House students learned so much and had a blast too!
