Food, flags, maps, family traditions and pride were all a part of the Heritage Day celebration Wednesday, December 15, 2010. Students interviewed aunts, uncles, parents and grandparents to discover their family history and to learn about family traditions. Little did they know they would walk away with an invaluable treasure, a sense of pride and a stronger tie to generations of family history.
Which all this knowledge, students reported on a country. They shared stories that spanned generations, showed artifacts and told their classmates interesting facts about the country they chose to study. The culminating activity was sampling food and playing games from the country.
I enjoyed being part of the Heritage Celebration and watching students take pride in their work and in their family history.
