Dear Parents,

The Annual International Festival is approaching. This is the time of year when each student has the opportunity to present a country from the continent we are studying. This semester we have been learning about Europe.

The International Festival is a way to explore other cultures from around the world.  Each student will research and explore their chosen country and find a creative way to share what they have learned with the whole school.  This project will need to include the country’s flag, a landform in the country, and how fundamental human
needs are met there (such as transportation, food, housing, etc.). Students may include any other interesting facts about their particular country. They will need to have a display of their country. This can include pictures, artifacts, clothing, music, and food. Students will present their projects individually in their own class in addition to presenting to the entire school during the cultural festival. During the festival, students will have the opportunity to visit each classroom and experience all of the continents and countries throughout the world as they view the presentations prepared by their schoolmates. Each student is expected to participate in the festival.

The International Festival will be November 22.  Students will present their projects individually to our class on November 18-21.

I have created a signup sheet so you can help your child select a country that has not been chosen already.  Some of the children have already let me know which country they would like to present, so I have added their name to the list.  Please click on the link below.  If you have not signed up by next Friday, I will help your child choose a country during class.
