Country Posters

Students have been hard at work on their country posters!  Each student picked a country to research and present the information in a poster.  This project used their reading skills to find information, their social studies skills to understand different cultures, and their writing skills to present information in a logical and organized manner.  Stop by our hallway to see these in person!

Here are some interesting fact we've found:

Italy - "An Italian tradition is to go on a trip in August". - Anonymous

Singapore - "Singapore is a small island and the languages spoken are Malay, Chinese, Tamil and English." - Jade

Italy - "After school children go to the piazza.  A big tradition in Italy is soccer." - Meghan
