One of the summer goals I have for The Older is for him to learn that the world extends beyond our neighborhood, and I’ve been wondering how to teach diversity in a way he can understand and appreciate. It’s a “grown-up” concept, but it is so important given the cultural diversity of our nation and our world.
I received an offer through Mamapedia for Little Passports last month, and I read through the site with excitement because it is exactly the type of thing that will help The Older learn and have fun doing it.

So, our adventure begins tomorrow when The Older has a day off from camp. I’m so excited to do this with him and learn about other countries as well. I have projects set up to do monthly that tie into each country we learn about, and I’m hoping that we are going to have as much fun as I think we are!
