We are world explorers! We traveled to 6 countries in December and learned more about our incredible world! Each morning, we studied a new flag & added it to our World Explorer book, and learned a greeting from that country.
Without a doubt, one of our favorite parts of each day was breaking bread from each country and sharing in a new culture as we read about the country in a book.
Together, we enjoyed new tastes, like chapati (from Kenya), damper (from Australia), and Russian Rye bread.
We discovered similarities and differences within each country, and discovered what's unique! I learned so much from our explorations, and so enjoyed reading about these countries, eating new foods, and speaking new languages!
Here are some snapshots from our explorations.
I was most impressed at our final project--students chose a country to draw the flag for, and found facts to represent the country in expository books, on our class grid, and in their World Explorer books. Each student did a wonderful job representing the countries on their flag to hang in the classroom and teach our visitors!
