Extractions: From Fractions to Percentages With A Hundred Dresses by Eleanor Estes Grades: th Time: Book Review: A Hundred Dresses is a touching book about Wanda, a Polish immigrant girl who is so poor that she wears the same dress to school every day. Mocked because of her poverty, her foreign-sounding name, and her unbelievable claims that she has "100 dresses lined up in her closet," she and her family eventually move to the city hoping for better treatment. Only after she leaves do her classmates find out that she really did have a hundred dresses, though not in the way they expected. Overview: This wonderful book, which makes an excellent read-aloud, introduces children to the idea of tolerance and also provides a segue into learning about a foreign country, Poland. By drawing comparisons between Poland and the United States, students can make better sense of raw numbers about the population of both countries and flex their mathematics muscles. You can adapt this lesson to the abilities of your students. Materials: A Hundred Dresses by Eleanor Estes, Internet access.

Extractions: Poland Introduction Geography People Government ... Transnational Issues Poland Introduction Top of Page Background: Poland gained its independence in 1918 only to be overrun by Germany and the Soviet Union in World War II. It became a Soviet satellite country following the war, but one that was comparatively tolerant and progressive. Labor turmoil in 1980 led to the formation of the independent trade union "Solidarity" that over time became a political force and by 1990 had swept parliamentary elections and the presidency. A "shock therapy" program during the early 1990s enabled the country to transform its economy into one of the most robust in Central Europe, boosting hopes for acceptance to the EU.

Play, study and read with local students discover your "inner child" in a friendly and historic European community. "The volunteers are true ambassadors of peace, friendship and mutual respect." In 1990, Rural Solidarity invited Global Volunteers to send teams of volunteers to teach conversational English in rural communities of the Siedlce region. Since then, more than 1,500 short-term volunteers have helped students - young and mature - to improve their English skills. Recently, Global Volunteers began providing service to orphaned and disabled children. During the fall and spring, volunteers teach in rural elementary and high school classrooms in the Siedlce region, east of Warsaw. The primary objectives are to intensify the young students' desire to learn English and to enhance the adults' ability to communicate in English. Emphasis is on conversation, and teachers and non-teachers alike are helpful.

Extractions: Poland is a medium-sized country (312.7 thousand km ), located in Central Europe. It is inhabited by circa 40 mln people, of which all the national minorities make up about 1 mln persons. The average population density amounts to 125 persons/km . Warszawa (Warsaw) is the capital of Poland. The currency used is zloty (zl) = 100 grosz (gr). Above 60% of the population live in cities: the biggest urban and industrial area is the Upper Silesian conurbation. Besides Warszawa (Warsaw), Krakow (Cracow) is a city of great world renown: this former capital of Poland attracts tourists with its Royal Castle, Cathedral and hundreds of historical monuments. Polish climate is transitory, as the masses of oceanic air confront continental air over Poland; hence in every season of the year the weather is changeable and difficult to forecast. The average air temperatures amount to 6 - 8.5 *C for a year, the annual rainfall is 500 - 700 mm, of which snow constitutes only 5 - 20%. The mountainous regions have got a distinctively different climate: depending on the altitude, temperatures tend to be lower by several or more than ten grades, while the rainfall, 40-60% of which is made up by snow, rise above 1000 mm a year.
