For two days the school was transformed into the continents of Africa, North and South America, Australia, Europe, Asia, and Antarctica. The kids saw performers and presenters representing all areas of the world. And were able to sample food from different countries as well.
The PTA was the main sponsor of the event, which translated into some long hours as well as a little stress. But I think everyone enjoyed themselves.
Each child received a passport that was stamped as they learned about the different countries. They also were sent home with a cut out kid which they were to decorate from a country of their choosing. (It looked like a gingerbread man with nothing on it.) They were to come back with three facts about the country to share with thier class as well. The girls wanted to do Germany. So we did our best to create our "culture kids" in the traditional lederhosen. (One of their facts was that lederhousen means leather pants.......bet you didn't know that?!).They had a good time being creative.
