Kiva article

After reading Jen's article, I was struck by how she created an atmosphere of global connectedness and change in her classroom. I show Pennies for Change about microlending in Bangladesh when we study South Asia. It is so important to open the curriculum for the students so that they can access it in a meaningful way. Her curriculum decisions have taught children about AIDS, GDP, and small ways to make big differences in the world. She has done this in a math classroom with relatively young children.

I wish all of us had the vision, determination, and time to incorporate more curriculum like Jen did.
