Description
Wheatland Elementary 4th grade classes are asking you
to consider Warriors Around the World as a grant
recipient from The Foundation for Andover Schools. This
grant will allow students to increase their global
citizenship by diving deeper into Social Studies content
and making sense of our world through global
connections. We are requesting funding for 3 classroom
sets of Nystrom Map and Globe Skills. Each set includes
a teacher’s guide and a classroom set of student atlases,
globes, physical maps, political maps, and raised relief
maps.
Warriors Around the World will help students to develop
their skills to imagine possibilities for our country and the
world. Students will be able to gain practical experience
with the resources provided. This grant will help students
to create connections that will foster a sense of self and
the world in which they live. Student innovation will be
displayed through classroom and passion projects.
Examples of this would be students learning about the
U.N. Sustainable Development Goals and how they
would address them, Mystery Locations geography
activities, and diving deeper into U.S. regional
comparisons. Students sharing their competence and
confidence in global citizenship will promote excellence
in education for Andover Public Schools.
