Japan Reading, Notes, Haiku Writing, Sushi-Math, Cooking (Differentiated Lesson)

A few years ago, I really wanted to start incorporating more international learning into my classroom. I started having table groups named after different countries and we competed in the "Reading Olympics." I love watching kids learn that the world is bigger than they are and that the world is an awesome and diverse place. This product will help you bring this into the classroom. It can be as intense or not intense as you'd like. You can do a full-on cooking jam with the sushi recipe or you can leave this as a multi-cultural activity for a substitute! Bring multiculturalism into your class and make it what you want!
