6th Grade Geography Fair
“Let learning take you around the world”, was the theme of this year’s Geography Fair. Polish pierogi, Spanish churros, Mexican enchiladas, and chocolate from Germany were among the many foods sampled at this cultural celebration. Julie Craig’s 6th grade class had a plethora of treats representing countries from around the world that were enjoyed by all. Over fifty countries were represented by an enthusiastic group of students excited to share the customs and cultures of their selected countries. The students spent six weeks researching and preparing their projects. Included in their research was information on the history, government, culture, currency and climate of their region. The students each created a media presentation using Google Slides, prepared a creative and informative display board representing their country, wrote a speech, and presented the information to their peers and members of the community. These presentations allowed the students an opportunity to not only share what they learned, but to explore other countries while learning from their classmates. The sixth grade teaching team is proud of the students’ dedication to this project and the academic progress made!
