Students loved capturing key moments and sharing physical photos with their peers—it made the exchange feel more real and memorable.\r\nWhat excited them most was realizing how much they had in common despite living in different parts of the world.

In kindergarten it is hard for the students to understand why they feel a certain way. \r\nAlso reading the books have allowed students to make real world connections to their emotions.
