"There's a lot of insight into their culture," she said, adding she has taught students from 40 to 50 different countries. "They love America, but they love their countries, too.

flipping classrooms
Kathleen Fulton is highly encouraging and pioneering the switch from limited technology in the classroom to full-blown. To give some depth to what exactly Fulton means by "flipping classrooms", she address several positive points about the switch. For instance, "By moving instructional time out of the shared learning space of the classroom, teachers are afforded much more time to help students hone their new skills." In other words, students will have access to learning plans 24/7 and time in classroom is more focused on where the children are "being lost", or not understanding curriculum.

Sunnybrae Elementary had the brilliant idea from faculty to provide a school-wide event that would utilize the parents, children, and teamwork to complete and cultural journey around the world. The idea behind this, as stated in the article above, is to hold an almost exact copy of the format of the show The Amazing Race to spread awareness and positivity that each culture, country, and continent has to offer.
