Life in Tanzania

My grade 3 class had the opportunity to be pen pals with students from a small school in Arusha, Tanzania. We were able to share what life is like in rural Alberta and compare it first hand to life in Tanzania. Students created games and videos explaining how to play some of the math and learning games we play in our classroom. Through bake sales, we were able to fund raise enough money to purchase a water reservation system, repair the roof on the school, and purchase a photo copier. I had the opportunity to spend a week in Tanzania, work with the students, and take them games, food, and school supplies. Through personal connection we were able to create authentic learning opportunities.
