This week we were lucky to have not one, but two parents come to talk to the class about their experiences in African countries. Sofia's dad, Youssef, shared pictures and traditional items from his native country, Morocco. Sofia wore traditional, festive dress and acted as his assistant in the presentation. She helped us learn some Arabic words and phrases.
Eloisa's dad, Omar, showed us photos and maps of Africa, specifically the countries he has visited in his work for Oxfam, Ethiopia, Kenya and Ghana. The students were impressed by a map which showed how the earliest humans migrated from Africa to all other parts of the world.
REMINDER: There is NO SCHOOL next Tuesday, November 4th. It is a professional day for teachers. Please don't forget to vote, as it is also Election Day. If you vote at Thompson, please consider either donating items to or purchasing something at the Bake Sale, which is raising money for Arlington EATS.
