3rd graders go international

The world became a much smaller place at Cottage Grove School today. The entire 3rd grade class took part in an international fair and it was amazing. Each classroom had 5 or 6 countries and groups of 4 or 5 kids worked on each country. My son Tyler, in Ms. Melde's class, presented the country of Morocco. Other countries that I saw were Cambodia, Costa Rica, Canada and South Korea and I was so impressed by the amount of work that these children put into their reports. They had large trifold presentation posters with varied information from climate to population to customs. Many groups presented different foods, music and national costumes. I ventured off to other classrooms and visited Germany, England and Sweden, just to mention a few. It was a very cultural morning. Way to go 3rd graders!!!
