Learning about different cultures is key to understanding the world around us, but young students often have a hard time identifying the unique characteristics that make up their own culture. When good friend and educator Tamera Musiowsky moved from New York City to Singapore this year, we took the opportunity to help our students identify those elements that make us who we are while learning about other cultures throughout the world. We applied for a grant and began a Culture Box exchange that links our two classrooms from half a world away.
