Tonight was our South American Fiesta for our Tapestry of Grace unit celebration. Each class chose a country then made a display of that country. It was interesting to see how each class represented their country in different ways.
H's class had Venezuela. She wrote a report about different aspects of the country.
B's class had Ecuador. They also had a guest speaker at their table who moved to the US a few years ago from Ecuador.
This is my sweet class each week. We did Bolivia. My co-teachers handled the food while I took care of the display board. I let the students color pictures of fruit, plants and animals found in Bolivia. We also had a map and interesting facts about the country. I was also able to use some scarves and other items from the country. They were very proud of their table!
This is the fruit my co-teachers had on our table. I love the look on E and C's faces. "You want me to EAT that!?" They actually did try most of it and liked it!
I helped coordinate this unit celebration. (Notice I said "helped".) We had a list of questions for the students to answer in a Scavenger Hunt. Dad is helping B find answers at this table about Brazil. Every child who answered all the questions got a piece of candy and their name in "the jar". Two winners were drawn from "the jar" for a gift certificate.
It was a fun evening showing what we have learned so far this year. We are in the mid-1800's now. Lots of fun stuff ahead...

Thanks for posting these pictures! We were sad to miss the Unit Celebration again, but Volleyball Tournament and Unit 1 Celebration are probably going to coincide every year, I think. Jason was very glad that he got to stay with the Nemitzes, though, and he had a great time. And winning the drawing for the Palsies' gift card was definitely a big bonus! Thank you for the part you played in making it happen. :-)
