Odds and Ends:
Culture Day Presentations are coming up! We are working on typing our country reports. Your child might need to work on this over the weekend. We will spend all week typing our reports. We talked again about culture presentations this week and the children received a purple note with details and the date of their presentation (either Tues. 3/10, Wed. 3/11, Thurs. 3/12). Here is what your child is expected to do on the 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 !
