Hello! Our school’s International Festival is fast approaching! I passed out the continent/country research packets today. The students will need to have these completed and ready to turn in on DECEMBER 16th! They will be given some time to do research in class, but some of it will need to be completed at home. In addition to the research, the students will also need a display for the Festival. This will need to be a tri-fold board that includes information, maps, and pictures about their country. The students may also bring in souvenirs, costumes, food, etc. Since this Festival is replacing our school’s holiday program, it would be fun if a portion of the display was showing holiday traditions of their country. Please let me know if you have any questions. kgonzales@mariamontessoriacademy.org
