Getting Ready for Multicultural Night!

This Thursday evening is multicultural night here at school. Each class picks a country to learn about and then sets up a display for this school to see (and learn). My firsties (with a little help from me) chose Italy this year. They are very excited! We started by learning a few words in Italian. They were so cute! Then we learned a few fun facts about Italy. We make a little book to help remember some of the important facts. Then they each made their own flag of Italy. They learn what each color represents. Later this week the class is going to skype with Nunzia. She was a foreign exchange student from Matera, Italy that lived with me my freshman year of high school. She and I have remained very close over the years. She loves getting to see all my little firsties every year. The class will have an opportunity to ask her all kinds of questions. My firsties went home with another awesome QR Watch. This way they can watch a cool video about Italy when they get home. They are VERY excited. Check back soon for pictures of our skyping trip to Italy with Nunzia!
