After the presentations, the children put on a skit about a penguin and a polar bear that I admit went a bit over my head. But no matter as they segued into a closing song that really warmed everyone's hearts. Its theme - One world, one people. No matter the color of your skin, or the language that you speak or where you live, we are all living in one world and need to treat each other respectfully.
Stinkerbell's showcase was a bit different as they had already hosted their all-school assembly. This was more like a coffee morning: The parents come in right after dropping their children off and get some insight into what our children have been working on for their current unit. Having just finished a unit on "How we express ourselves" we were greeted with a song and dance saying good morning to us in all of the languages spoken by the children in the second grade.
After presentations on what they are learning in their language classes (Stinkerbell recited a poem in German with a friend) and a film they made in their PE class, we were free to wander around the classroom with our children to see what other projects they had been working on. Stinkerbell was so excited to show me what she had accomplished these past 6 weeks. And I was so happy to see all that she learned and how she works so well with the kids in her class.
They created a class flag.
She is so proud of her solo projects.
