2nd/3rd Graders Explore Continents - Differences and Similarities

Hi All,
I'm looking for 2nd/3rd grade classes from other continents to study real
time, authentic differences/similarities of all continents http://tinyurl.com/23sxbcz.

Please go to our spreadsheet and sign up so that we can begin collaborating
and planning before the school year begins. We can compare climate,
animals, endangered animals, culture, famous people, sports, holidays,
traditions, clothing, schooling, foods. I hope we will get a few
classes from each continent. It can be very interesting!!
