Class Basket

Our class basket looks awesome!  I would like to say a BIG THANKS to everyone for donating to our "Movie Night" basket.  It's estimated value is $245.  This basket will be a great addition to the silent auction at the carnival.  I can't wait to see how much it goes for.

Learning About Mexico

The next stop on our journey around the world - Mexico!  We enjoyed a messy project as we made our own maracas!  We used paper mache on light bulbs to create these musical instruments.  Then we painted them bright, bold colors.  We enjoyed using our maracas as we learned the Mexican Hat Dance.  I hope you enjoy this short clip!

Learning About Jamaica

On our journey around the world, we stopped to learn about Jamaica.  One of the things we learned about was a children's story about Anansi the Spider.  There are many tales about this mischievous spider told in Jamaica.  We made our own Anansi and enjoyed some Jamaican juice.  Here is a short video of our pictures!

Learning About Germany

This week we had a special treat as we learned about Germany's culture.  David's mom came in to share all about Germany.  We were super excited to have a guest speaker.  She brought in lots of items from Germany to share and even German foods for us to sample.  The students LOVED this!  Thank you Mrs. Middleton for teaching us about Germany!

David & his mom

Here's a look at our plate to sample
