Once
upon
a
,
in
a
cozy
little
,
there
lived
a
curious
girl
Maya
.
She
loved
learning
about
different
and
people
.
One
day
,
her
,
Ms
.
Garcia
,
told
the
class
they
would
be
exploring
around
the
world
.
Maya
was
thrilled
!
"
First
stop
,
"
said
.
Garcia
,
"
is
Japan
!
"
In
,
Maya
learned
students
start
their
day
by
cleaning
their
classrooms
.
"
Wow
,
they
must
be
very
tidy
!
"
thought
Maya
.
They
also
remove
their
shoes
before
entering
the
school
and
wear
indoor
slippers
instead
.
"
I
would
love
to
wear
slippers
at
school
,
"
Maya
giggled
.
Next
,
they
to
Kenya
,
a
beautiful
country
in
Africa
.
There
,
Maya
saw
learning
under
the
of
a
big
tree
.
"
Sometimes
,
they
don
?
t
have
classrooms
like
we
do
,
"
explained
Ms
.
Garcia
.
The
children
were
happy
and
sang
songs
as
they
.
"
I
wish
we
could
have
outside
more
often
,
"
Maya
mused
.
Then
,
they
visited
Finland
in
Europe
.
Ms
.
Garcia
them
that
Finnish
schools
have
very
school
days
and
lots
of
breaks
.
"
That
sounds
fun
!
"
Maya
exclaimed
.
The
spent
a
lot
of
time
playing
and
exploring
nature
.
"
Learning
through
play
must
be
exciting
,
"
she
thought
.
In
India
,
Maya
saw
starting
their
day
with
yoga
and
meditation
.
"
This
helps
them
to
and
feel
calm
,
"
said
Ms
.
Garcia
.
They
also
learned
multiple
languages
at
school
.
"
Namaste
,
"
Maya
tried
to
say
hello
in
Hindi
.
Their
journey
continued
to
Brazil
,
where
Maya
noticed
that
students
loved
to
dance
and
play
music
.
"
Music
is
a
big
part
of
their
learning
,
"
Ms
.
Garcia
explained
.
The
Brazilian
students
wore
bright
uniforms
and
had
lots
of
energy
.
"
I
?
d
love
to
learn
samba
!
"
Maya
imagined
herself
dancing
with
new
friends
.
Finally
,
they
arrived
back
home
.
Maya
was
amazed
by
all
the
different
ways
children
around
the
world
go
to
school
.
She
realized
that
even
though
schools
might
look
different
,
every
child
enjoys
learning
and
making
friends
,
just
like
her
.
Ms
.
Garcia
asked
,
"
What
did
you
learn
today
,
class
?
"
Maya
raised
her
hand
excitedly
and
said
,
"
I
learned
that
schools
around
the
world
are
unique
,
but
we
all
share
the
same
love
for
learning
!
"
And
so
,
with
a
heart
full
of
wonder
and
new
ideas
,
Maya
couldn
?
t
wait
to
share
her
discoveries
with
her
family
and
friends
.
She
dreamed
of
visiting
these
schools
one
day
and
making
friends
from
all
over
the
world
.
