SAIL friends "traveled" the world by researching countries and learning facts in ELA classes. We used how to use a new resource to find information. Students put together slides on their country. Our mathematicians explored the currency of different countries and what an exchange rate was. It's interesting what the US $1.00 is worth in other countries!
SAIL connected our World study with ASPIRE Gorham and met Erin Santana. She is a Maine graduate who used her passion for travel to become an education coordinator for the Chicago White Sox baseball team. Some players from our home team, the Portland Sea Dogs, have moved up to the Chicago White Sox team. She recorded a video for us about her job, schooling, and future travelers' advice.
