Foreign Love Affair

Lots has been going down in Room 605 over the last few weeks! My favorite activity has been counting down the days until Spring Break! (I know you're wondering and the count is at 2)! Yay!

Lately, we have been studying the ancient cultures of Greece and Rome, but we took a day to learn about the countries of Malaysia, Senegal, Uganda, Brazil, and Morocco a few weeks ago.
We had the pleasure of hosting international English teachers at school for a day. These teachers are participants in the ILEP Program (International Leaders in Education Program) and are partnered with Clemson University. Go Tigers!

My kids were completed captivated! We learned about different foods, climates, holidays, and school requirements among other things. Before the day was over, my students were already asking when the international teachers would return! I find it amazing that we as humans can for lasting bonds in such a short amount of time! I'm so grateful my kids could get a small glimpse of this big world we live in. We had such a wonderful day!
