Around the world Activity

The boys have been learning in school about where around the world people are from. This week, there was a parent-student activity for Caleb's class that I attended. The moms in Caleb's class are friendly and many remembered me from the open house, which was comforting because most of them seem to know each other from years past. There were a few tables and there were 4 kids and moms per table. Our activity was cutting out people from different places around the world, decorating their clothes with fabric and colored beans and macaroni, and placing them in the paper-mache globe.
 Caleb was proud of his girl from India
 And China. He especially liked the red eyes and thought they were funny.
There was a little bit of geography challenges, which was kind of funny. Russia ended up around the UK, Holland in the Stans, and Saudi was down in Africa!
Caleb and I had fun doing the activity together and talking with the other kids at the table. The globe, along with other tables crafts, are proudly on display outside their classroom.
