Culture Day Presentations are coming up! We are almost finished (or finished) with our country reports. Your child might need to work on this over the weekend. We spent all week typing our reports and they are turning out beautiful! We talked again about culture presentations today. Here is what your child is expected to do on the date of their presentation (the week of 3/11---see the purple note with the exact date of their presentation)
1. Read 3 chapters from their country report (they should practice this at home)
2. Share a connection they have with the country (photo, poster, google slide show, video)
3. Share 2 items that represent their country (food, instrument, music, dance, clothing, book, artifact).
If they choose to bring in food, please send in the list of ALL ingredients. Thanks! Email me with any questions !
