The students in Room 106 have been very pleased to welcome special visitors into our classroom. In the past two weeks we have had both Grandparents/Special Visitors’ Day and our cultural morning to share what the students have learned in their researches about the countries of South America.  Grandparent’s Day gave our students the opportunity to share their classroom and school environment with their grandparents and other special visitors. They were excited to show the work that they are doing and demonstrate how to use the materials. It also provided us with an ideal time to practice making introductions as the students introduced their grandparents to their friends and teachers. 

Our South American cultural morning was a celebration of all of the work our students had done in researching a country.  Each student prepared a poster of the country that they had researched. They practiced reading their note cards to one another with older students coaching the first year students who were giving their first big presentation.  On Thursday all of the students very proudly presented their research posters to their parents and classmates before enjoying tasting the foods that each student brought to represent their countries.  The students are already looking forward to the next time that we will welcome visitors to our classroom!
