Busy week

We had two wonderful visitors this week!  Zoe's mom, Lara, came to tell us about her home country, Croatia.  She taught us a lot about the culture and the language.  She told us that there is a town there with a population of only 17! The students got a kick out of that!

Leo's dad, Hogie, grew up in Germany and shared a slide show including geography, architecture and history of this country.  The kids were especially fascinated by the robots that make cars at the VW plant and the size of the cruise ships that are made near his hometown of Emden.

Many thanks to both parents for sharing with us.

At the end of the day on Friday, we met with our 5th grade buddies.  The students shared their own original small moment stories with each other.
