Cultural Fair

  In this challenge, the 4th graders explored different cultures and traditions from around the  world. They identified how diverse social interactions may impact their community. Moreover,  they became conscious of how diversity could enrich their own culture and the cultures of their  community and country.   As part of their final projects, the kids worked in teams to create a Cultural Fair where they  gathered information regarding the culture, traditions, celebrations, clothing, food, etc. about  different countries from each continent.   Finally, they presented their projects to their parents and peers. They brought to school  traditional clothing, food, and ornaments that helped them to explain the diversity and richness  of their assigned countries. Gabriela Hernández
