Kentucky Kids' Day 2013

Friday was Kentucky Kids' Day at SGE. This year's theme was International Cultures. The second and third grades focused on Africa. Since we have been focusing on animals and habitats in Science, we decided to go with an African Safari theme in our hallway. Our class researched giraffes and wrote informational paragraphs about them. We even turned our classroom door into a giraffe!

The fourth and fifth grades focused on Europe. They made us "passports" so we could visit some of the different countries in Europe. We saw the Leaning Tower of Pisa in Italy....

...and we visited England. We got to see Big Ben, Buckingham Palace, and we even caught a glimpse of the Queen of England! Here she is outside the palace with her guard, Prince William, and Princess Kate.... (I especially LOVED the queen!)

We heard several guest speakers from various cultures. We enjoyed some music and dance from China....

 

 

...but I think everyone's favorite was the African drums...

 

 

 

Overall, I think it was a FUN day and a great learning experience for all! I hope everyone has a safe and restful Fall Break!!
