On Wednesday April 15, 2009 our students took a trip around the world. We began our day with a school wide parade through the halls ending up in our school gym. Think the Olympics opening ceremony on a little smaller scale. We had flag holders and sign holders and many students dressed to represent their country. In Kindergarten they learned about Mexico. First grade taught a little about The Netherlands. Second grade learned about Japan. Third grade toured China. Fourth grade showed us all about the Cherokee Indian Tribe of North Carolina. Our trip was finished off in Canada presented by our fifth grade. The children have not stopped talking and writing about our day. It was a lot of work but appears to be worth it when you talk to the kids about the fun they had on this special day.
