International Week was FUN, FUN, FUN!

Dear Parents and Students,

What a screaming fun week we had!  We have been all over the world!  To 7 countries, to be exact!  They were Brazil, India, Australia, Egypt, Madagascar, Italy and Canada.  We also got visitors in our own country, Austria.  We had an unforgettably great time!

I have to make use of this opportunity and say:  THE THIRD GRADERS WERE AMAZING!!!  They presented Austrian indescribably well.

We also met with our Reading Buddies, the Pre-K students, and taught them how to make an Austrian (German) hat.  We had a lot of fun with them.

In Computer class the third graders made slideshows on Austria.  And like always, they did a fine job with their computer skills.
