Celebration of Learning

Ethan and Annie's school does a Celebration of Learning a few times a year to show off what they have been focusing on for the past expedition. In the K-2 pod, each class learned about a different country.

Annie's class learned about Brazil:

Annie talked about the geography of Brazil.

And then her class did a Brazilian dance to the song "Mama Pequena". So cute.

Ethan's class learned about Japan.  His class's presentation was so impressive.  I honestly can't belive that a bunch of 6-8 year olds put it together.  But they did!

Ethan and his frined Cami were the narrators of the entire program about Japan.  They did a great job

Ethan's group for this expedition.  Their learning focus was about the community in Japan.  The whole thing was just so fantastic.  Mt. Fuji erupted.  They had some of the girls do a parasol dance. They sent lanterns floating down a river.  Every Friday, their school does Mega-Crew where the entire kindergarten - 9th grade gets together and talks about what they are learning and what is going on in the school.  One class hosts each week.  Ethan's class did just a part of this celebration of learning program for their Mega-Crew week.  They won an award for the best Mega-Crew of the year.  It really was amazing.  Ms. Churchill is a great teacher.

The 1st and 2nd graders learned songs from India, Japan and  the Polynesian islands.

I love this picture of Aaron and Meghan.  Usually, I think she looks like me, but they look so much alike here.
