Students Are Globe Trotters In Gardiners Avenue Gymnasium
Students at Gardiners Avenue Elementary School in the Levittown Public School District saw the world from a different perspective on Jan. 11 as they experienced every corner of the globe presented in giant-sized fashion.
Students were shocked and ecstatic to find a globe in the gymnasium that was big enough to almost reach the ceiling. Classes explored the inflatable structure, pointing out places they recognized and the type of terrain different areas contain. They did not only orbit the outside, however ? the planet was zipped open for students to step inside, getting a full view of the globe from its center. Students pointed out the places they have visited and learned interesting facts about faraway places. It was a memorable experience for all students as they envisioned the globe in its even larger real-life scale.
