Parents,

Our International Cultural Feast is coming up during the week of November 21st.

Each student is asked to present a brief report of one of the countries in Africa. I have listed the following countries: South Africa, Nigeria, Kenya, Morocco, Ghana, Algeria, Ethiopia, Tanzania, Uganda, Zimbabwe, Madagascar, Cameroon, Rwanda, Libya, Guinea, Zambia, Niger, Liberia and South Sudan.

I will assign each student one of these countries. I will just go down our list alphabetically and then each student will take one. The report should just include some facts about that country. Poster board size information is excellent.

The students will be able to share their report with other students who come into our classroom as each student in our lower elementary will be doing a similar report to share. The south side and the north side of the school have their assignments given.

This will be an event which parents are encouraged to come and visit as well. It usually goes about 1 1/2 hour – as I have been told.

I haven’t participated in this event before but I have heard teachers say this is a great experience to share other countries cultural traditions and ways of living.

Please let me know if you have any questions. There isn’t any particular way this needs to be done. Creativity!!

I will send out with the next note the alphabetical order of the student and the country of Africa to research. Thank you so much for your support.

Ms. Leslee and Ms. Susan
