3rd-5th grade does an intensive study of countries around the world. We celebrate this time and call it Culture Fair. The students prepare a presentation board that includes culture, economics, and facts about the country. They also prepare hand-made projects that include clothing, jewelry, toys, musical instruments, and housing structures. Our Kindergarten class was able to enjoy this day by visiting the upper elementary classes on in-house field trip around the world! We were able learn simple ways to say "hello" in other languages, we admired fancy clothes that other cultures wear, explored different currencies, and touched artifacts from that country. We concluded with a wonderful picnic outside. It was an awesome day!
