Cultural Day

Before we left for Spring Break, we had our annual Cultural Day. This year, the focus was the Summer Olympics and the countries that have hosted them. Before Cultural Day, each classroom studied one country that had previously hosted the summer Olympics. Our class studied Italy. On Cultural Day itself, we started with Opening Ceremonies at church where each "country" paraded in with their flags, similar to Olympic Opening Ceremonies. The day was filled with awesome activities, food, music, and dance.
