These materials were created by participants of the Costa Rica Study Tour in 2025. Each of the materials were created by participants for classroom use. The materials are separated by subject area, but some lessons are cross-curricular in nature. Lessons should be read and adapted by the classroom teacher to fit their specific needs.
