My, a 4th grader in Mrs. Rosser's calss, with help from her cousin Cat, 5th grader in Mr. McCauley's class, presented a slideshow they created to teach Mrs. Rosser's class about Lunar New Year. The girls did a fantastic job, and the class learned so much! Way to go, girls!
Karla loved the idea of teaching the class, so she created a slideshow about the country of Ecuador and presented it to Mrs. Rosser's class, as well. The class learned a lot about Ecuador. After the presentation, the class found out from Mr. Jones that we may be having a new student from Ecuador join our class in the near future. Now the class can talk about Ecuador with our new student if she joins us! Great work, Karla!
