Downtown Elementary Students Visit Israel

For the most recent installment of “Anytime, Anywhere” at DTES, students in grades K-5 took a trip to Israel. Among other activities, they enjoyed a traditional Israeli lunch and visited recreations of the Wailing Wall, the Dome of the Rock, an authentic Israeli market, and a hall of Israeli heroes. They even learned and performed an Israeli dance routine!

Focusing on several countries or cities each year, Anytime, Anywhere gives elementary schools the chance to learn about other cultures around the world, spending two months studying their history, language, art, music, and more before celebrating their destination with a day of festivities at the school. Anytime, Anywhere was developed according to the pillars of the International Baccalaureate program and encourages internationalism for our students while underscoring the importance of knowing about the world outside of our own country.
