Cultures Around the World - 2nd and 3rd Grade

As second and third graders, we spent some time in class learning about different cultures around the world.  We gained a greater appreciation for others who live in countires such as Micronesia, Vietnam, Argentina, Spain, Cuba, Africa, England, Brazil, Germany, Russia, Canada, Mexico, and many others.  Here is a picture of one of our fantastic ALA Spanish students wearing a pancho from Argentina.  Many of our students also brought food, authentic folklorico dresses, and music from these countries.  Below you will see a mother who volunteered during our Culture Week singing a song from Africa.  Notice the amazing "clicking" sound she creates as she sings!  Thank you to ALL who volunteered their time and energy in making this a WIN-WIN!!
