My Project

My students love to explore the world. The Leapfrog Adventure Globe allows students to view the world at their fingertips. I teach at three elementary schools. The Leapfrog globes will be used in each classroom. Students can learn many different facts about each country.

A country's languages, food, landmarks, currency, and other interesting facts will easily be accessible at their fingertips.

Many students will not travel to many of these countries. Your generous gift towards the Adventure Globes will change that. You are opening up a student's mind with possibilities.
