Chapter 1 of Santoor opens Unit 1, My Land. Together We Can is a short poem of ten lines, printed as five pairs. The book does not name a poet. The poem says one simple thing: a team that stands together is strong, and helping each other keeps everyone from falling. The rest of the chapter takes that idea into practice — you talk about your food and festivals, learn the words for groups of things, find places on a map, write about children helping others, and cut a paper chain of people holding hands.
