Cultural Fair

The fifth graders had the theme of Early Colonies. My grandson chose Colonial Christmas. They all had to write a report and come up with some type of presentation. You can see some of the homemade gift ideas the candle for in the window and also wooden shoes that were filled with candy and fruit. (most of that and the Spiced Cider had already disappeared as samples.) He also had a dish of Chocolate Moose on display. Other subjects in his room were Colonial cloths, Food, schools , George Washington and more. Very interesting and made for a interesting and educational evening !
The LCMS School where my youngest daughter teaches first grade had a Cultural Fair. Each grade presented a different theme. The first graders chose farming. Each student was assigned or chose one item to make. There was a fence, a pond, ducks, cow, horse, tractor and field, and as you can see on the picture a barn, house, farmer, farmers wife, sheep pig and more. It definitely turned out nice. The children do this at home with their parents help. What a fun family activity. We love seeing all the class rooms and their wonderful ideas and presentations.
