Both of these ideas help students connect to the world. The first helps them to feel a part of it. The 2nd helps them understand parts of the world they might not know until they meet someone through a book.

This show was amazing! It was great to see so many students involved in this year's show. Lincoln 5th graders loved seeing it, and it helped them think about how to be involved next year as 6th graders. https://t.co/XKWEB9dqn1
