International Week

This week is International Week as I am sure the students have let you know.

Last week, I had all of the students look at a map of the world and choose a country they would like to learn about. We had a vote on the top two countries chose, and the winner was America.

 

So this week, each day, we will learn something new about America. The class has been so excited and enthusiastic about learning. Yesterday, we learned that it is actually called the United States of America and sometimes shortened for USA. We have also learned what the stars and stripes on the flag mean. Today, each kid got a "new" American name for the week. 

We will also do flag art and make a mural of American symbols, among a few other activities. 

On Thursday, your students can come out of uniform, but please send them in Red, White, and Blue for America.

Thanks!
