Abstract/Notes: [...]the first time I saw a wild animal in person was at a Ugandan zoo at the age of 12. The Baganda people (as well as the people of other African ethnic groups) attach great importance, pride, and respect to their king and kingdoms, as well as to regional leaders called chiefs. Invite individuals to your classroom to share cultural artifacts, languages, clothing, food, music, and anything else that will enrich children's understanding of the African continent and its people and expand their worldview Now, 8 years into my career as a Montessori teacher, I am lucky that I have the platform and the tools to help young children appreciate and celebrate cultural diversity. While it's true that the African continent is home to a number of major national parks, with some of the world's most fascinating animals, especially the "Big Five" (lion, leopard, rhinoceros, elephant, and Cape buffalo), reducing an entire continent to just animals is a dangerous distortion of perspective for curious young minds.

Abstract/Notes: Maria Montessori's worldview, shaped at least in part by her extensive travels and her experiences during World War II, compelled her to speak of peace and cooperation among nations. Though in today's world people can communicate instantly via fax, e-mail, and cell phones, and have the ability to circumnavigate the globe in a matter of days, they often find that understanding and empathy arise from daily contact with people whose customs and languages may be foreign, but whose daily struggles and hopes and dreams are not so different at all. In this article, the author describes her experiences that may attest to that very Montessori spirit. Living with two Ukrainian exchange students to train to be Montessori elementary teachers, the author was surprised by their limited vocabulary and difficulty conjugating verbs. However, they were able to discover similarities, by means of exchanging views and slowly their communication and cultural barriers began to diminish and opened the door to sharing cultures and experience.
