A HISTORICAL JOURNEY IN THE FOOTSTEPS OF SMYRNA 12.12.2025

As third graders, we had an amazing experience to top off the "Where We Are in Place and Time". Within the scope of this unit, we were delighted to host Sara Pardo, the author of the book " Öykülerin İzinde: Smyrna'dan İzmir'e", which we had read in class. While our students continued to inquire about the transformation of İzmir through natural and human factors, they had the opportunity to hear about this important topic directly from the author of the book, establishing a strong and lasting connection between our readings and real life. This meaningful meeting turned our learning journey into an experience of connection and inspiration.
