Fall 2009
Children of the World
Children and Holidays Around the World
One of our favorite exchanges is Children of the World. The theme for this exchange was Holidays Around the World. This was a particularly fun and educational exchange because of the variety of participants.
European Jr. High School, Wien AUSTRIA
Volksschule Liebhartsgasse, Wien AUSTRIA
Haultain School, Saskatchewan CANADA
Whitehill Primary School, Kent ENGLAND
Hazon Yaacov School, Ashdod, ISRAEL
Scuola Primaria Ancelle della Caritá, Palazzolo Sull’Oglio, ITALY
Akev School, Antalya TURKEY
St. Edward the Confessor School, California USA
St. Elizabeth of Hungary School, California USA
Mariposa School of Global Education, California USA
Matthews Elementary, Missouri USA
All Saints School, Missouri USA

Resurrection Catholic School, Pennsylvania USA
It was not planned this way but we ended up with 3 Jewish Schools (Austria, Pennsylvania and Israel), 5 Catholic Schools (Italy, California, Missouri and Pennsylvania) and 6 culturally diverse schools (Austria, Canada, England, Turkey, California and Missouri). These pages are organized by school and holiday. I wish it was possible to scan every single doll to share with you, but here you will find a selection of Children of the World. I have scanned several dolls from each class. You can even play them in a slideshow if you wish. CLICK HERE for slideshow.
Click on the links below to learn more about holidays around the world from children around the world. At the bottom of each page you will find a link to the previous and next page so you can go from page to page (just like reading a book). Enjoy!!
Note: I am uploading a few pages at a time (some of the images will be added later). This note will disappear when I am finished. Come back again!
