International Night Photos

We had such an awesome time tonight! International Night was a big success. We sang music from Japan, ate food from India, and looked at art from China. We also displayed and answered questions about our research projects. Thanks to everyone who helpd to make it a success. Here are a few pictures from the evening.

Some of our art (diyas, fans, origami, and sewn pandas)

International Night

We are all looking forward to celebrating our study of Asia on December 13 at 6:00 pm! We will sing a song we have learned, showcase art from Asia, and sample food from various countries on the continent. We will also be displaying our projects from the research we've done in class. Please arrive on time as we will start promptly at 6:00. Your child doesn't need to bring anything or wear anything special. They just need to be their amazing selves. Because space is limited, we will only be able to accommodate immediate families. Any questions about the celebration or the project, please contact me!
