Friday, June 3, 2016

It is our Colombian Exchange Day!  To all who could, thank you for supplying either an old world or new world food item!  Here are a few pictures from the morning -- students in each home room created a craft to trade with the other home room.  The drop-cloth turned into an unplanned piece of art for our walls.






Mr. Gleim's class is painting rocks to trade with the New World.


Mr. Murphy's class is making beaded bracelets to trade with settlers from the Old World.
 





           This afternoon we shared a movie, a meal, and some inspiring quotes like this one from President Dwight D. Eisenhower:  "This world of ours...must avoid becoming a community of dreadful fear and hate, and be, instead, a proud confederation of mutual trust and respect."
