Presentation to a Montessori mixed age classroom of 3-year-olds, 4-year-olds, and kindergarteners about the European Union - an introduction. The students were given individual "passports" and then pretended to visit Europe. They learned that they would only get one stamp when they got to Europe, no matter how many different countries they visited. The students are given regular instruction in the continents and could all name countries in Europe. They learned that some of those countries were member states, some were not. And then they learned about the euro and the different designs that appear on euro coins were compared to the different state's designs on U.S. quarters. They were able to hold and play with euro notes and coins.
