In Bell's and Jean-Sigur's powerpoint attached in our readings (Bell, 2010) there were different activities teachers could implement into their instruction, maybe in Reading or Social Studies. These activities were as follows:

All about me book

Books about similarities and differences regarding culture, belief, family composition, gender, race, language, ethnicity

Books (DVDs) Games about celebrating differences and different world views

Allowing the child to play out cultural practices in centers ( home living, dramatic play etc)

Language/ number guessing game

Beans and rice- it is the world‟s meal

What‟s in a name- good for working with families

The picture below is an activity a students did in Oak Hill. Oak Hill students looked at the problems that hinder students from getting an education around the world today and throughout the history of education in the United States.

From our reading, Going Global in Early Childhood Education, the section that I paid close attention to was the section: ACTIVITIES THAT CAN INTEGRATE THE Six PRINCIPLES (Douglas, 2015) .
In this sections it listed several books teachers read to their students about reducing waste in the world, conserving water, not wasting food, etc.
In my opinion, we save these types of books and readings for Earth Day, but this is a continuous problem in our world and continues to grow more serve everyday. So why wait to teach this lesson to students one week out of the year instead of teaching this lesson at the beginning of the year and make plans as a case to help the community in which you live. This lead to actives students could do in their county. For example: they mentioned soup kitchens for not wasting food, cleaning a park for picking up was/trash, donating food or bottle water to a community service food drive.

Barbara MacDonald outlines Global Education into differ "strands".

Development Education - looks at International Development programs and the conditions in developing countries, examines Canada’s international role, and encourages us to address global issues and look critically at the notion of “development.”

Environmental Education – fosters an awareness of and concern for environmental issues that aid in developing new patterns of behaviour that will promote environmental responsibility.

Human Rights Education – teaches about civil, political, economic and social rights, with the goal of promoting social justice for all.

Peace Education – studies war and disarmament, and encourages movement towards peace both globally and in the classroom.

Fifth Grade Global Competencies Checklist 

# data[].attributes.body
This resource has grade level checklists for students to understand, investigate, connect, and to integrate global education into learning and lessons.
Since I teach fifth grade I used their objectives. They are outlined as:
- Students can synthesize information from multiple sources, including family and personal history, websites, books, and community investigations, and incorporate these multiple perspectives into their project.

- Students can build comparative analyses of what they are learning.
- Students can convey the complexity of culture in their projects.
- Students can communicate what they have learned to diverse audiences, and craft

specific presentations tailored to those audiences (in face-to-face settings and through online publishing). (Partnership

"Joy and skill! That's what this compendium of insights, innovations and practical wisdom ultimately delivers! Homa Tavangar and Becky Morales open up a true 21st century toolkit for teachers and parents alike.

Integrate global learning activities in your elementary classrooms today with this easy-to-use, much anticipated guide!
The Global Education Toolkit for Elementary Learners (Corwin Press, Feb. 2014) provides the tools for practical, effective, and fun activities that will advance global awareness in your K-6 students, and equip staff and volunteers with hundreds of ideas and the confidence to implement them. With special emphasis on integrating global learning into Common Core State Standards and all subject areas, effective use of technology and social media, meaningful service learning, and practical organizational tools, the low- or no-cost resources shared here can be used on their own for individual lessons, in homeschooling, in after-school clubs, in Scouts, for special celebrations, or to tie into an entire year's theme. Learning about and with the world shouldn't feel like yet another add-on to already burdened educational priorities, but help to support goals for educating the whole child.

Whether you dedicate a day, week, month, or entire year to an international theme or you decide to intersperse global activities and learning across disciplines, special activities, or community building, a thoughtful execution of global education resources, themes, and technology can help build a foundation of awareness that can change the school's culture and shape the way students will react to the world around them, for many years to come. We hope that the resources in this book will help you along a path of discovery and encouraging lifelong learning.
