The big project for 5th grade is the International Fair, held this year on March 18th. The project involves putting together a lengthy report (for a 5th grader) as well as prepping a presentation that includes dress, music, food, pictures and any other trinkets you can scrounge up (money, stamps, dolls, etc)...all to be presented in the school gym to the teachers, students, and parents.This year, Abigail chose Spain. From the traditional Flamenco dance and La Tomatina to Basque Pelota (comparable to our Jai Alai) and bullfighting, Spain, with its rich heritage and passionate people, provided a wealth of learning.
