Dear Parents,

We will be doing one final project.  Since we have been studying Europe this past semester all the kids are eager to present a country of their choice.  Some students have chosen to do the same country or work together on a project.  I’ve encouraged them to bring anything they have (souvenirs, clothing, art, music, etc.) or can make (food, craft, etc.) from their chosen country.  If your child was not here today please let me know which country they would like to do.  It is alright if they choose a country that’s already been chosen.  We will have the presentations on May 14 and 15.
