Today our students had an opportunity to travel the world with Cultural Experience day! Each classroom created a presentation about a different country, including facts about the language, traditions, and more. Students then had the opportunity to get their passports stamped while they explored each poster and tried yummy snacks from each nation. This was a great opportunity for our students to learn while going out of their comfort zone and trying something new.
