I hope all the students went home with stories about International Day!! It was a fun and BUSY day, We weren't in our classroom very much... because we were too busy traveling THE WORLD! (While we traveled through the school, I forgot to take pictures. So you'll need to ask your child about all the other areas of the building.) ooh and I need to say THANK YOU to Mrs.Goode for spending the day with me. She was a huge help making sure the students stayed together when we "traveled" the world and in making the Maasai necklaces. :)
Well, we began with an amazing parade! Then we went to all 7 continents and while we were "visiting" we had our passports stamped and a cookie sample. The students either loved the cookies or HATED the cookies! haha We saw four presentations: Mrs.Silkert (a teacher at CLE) taught the students a folktale about Cheetahs. Mr.Barry (the amazing Magician!) had a magic show and reminded the kids that friendships and kindness are most the important things in life. Mrs.Hind (a school district employee at the district office) told the students what it was like moving to the USA from Morocco 10 years ago and taught them each how to write their names in Arabic. Then our last presenter was Mrs.Cantwell (a teacher at CLE) who discussed Kenya with the students and the Maasai people, she had the students all make the Maasai necklace. Plus she told the students a little about living in South Africa.
It was an AMAZING DAY!! Check out the slideshow to see the students in the presentations and look out for the cutest International Shirts!!
