03/28/12

 

The kids had their International Day at school.  They have been working on this project all year.  

It began with a paper doll dressed in traditional clothing, then to the country flag, and on to the country's map.  The last thing we have worked on is the 5-page report.  The rough draft has been turned in and sent back to the kids and now we will hand in the final next week.  I will be glad to have another thing checked off for the year.

Their performance was great today and we enjoyed a time of trying food that the kids had prepared from their country.  Mikayla made an Irish dish called Colcannon, which is basically potatoes and cabbage cooked together. Wesley made a Guatemalan dish called Pollo en Jocon - just know it had pumpkin seeds, sesame seeds, chicken, cilantro, tomatillos, scallions, etc.. in it.  It wasn't half bad!

I'll have to get pics downloaded and try to show some later.  They did a great job!
