Culture

We spent most of April talking about culture. We talked about what culture meant - about the traditions and meanings behind them. Many of you went out of your way to share your families culture with your child and they throughly enjoyed sharing this information with their classmates. After gaining some back ground knowledge from our Social Studies book each child was assigned a partner and country to research and write about - What fun they had! They spent some time in the computer lab research and not a many minutes went by where I didn't hear, "Mrs. Mabe look what we found out!" For some students this was their first experience with an anything to do with a culture other then theirs and what a treat it was for them!

 Using their notes write rough drafts...then they were edited and then final copies were written in their culture books!
