Everywhere across the United States, children from other countries are joining American classrooms. How can their classmates prepare? Learning about the culture, geography, and history of a new student's native country can help smooth the transition. Greeting the student with a few words in his or her language, making a traditional craft, and whipping up a well-known dish are all sure to help the child feel welcome. In this vibrant and colorful series, students and teachers can find out how to Meet a New Student—and maybe make a new friend. A new student from Colombia is joining Carol's third-grade class and everyone is curious. They want to know everything about the land of coffee, farms, and mountains. Colombia is unfortunately well known for its drug traffickers, but it is also beautiful with colonial cities, the Amazon rain forest, and the drama of the Andes mountains. Find out how people from Europe discovered Colombia, and about the indigenous people who were already living there. Then join Carol and her class in preparing some arepas and welcoming a New Student from Colombia. Hola!
