Next Week is International Week!
I would like to warmly
welcome any parents that would like to come and help us out. Our class will be
studying India this week- but International week we want to learn about all
kinds of countries. Our class would love
to hear about the different countries you or your relatives are from or even a
country you have visited.
You can teach a craft, a song or even bring in some food for
everyone to try. You can give a short presentation or even just send some
cultural items into school, any contributions are welcome!
Students Presented their inventions for each other and tested them out.
For parents open day, students worked with their parents to create some abstract art learning about different shades of color.
