Holiday Folk Fair!
Last Friday the 4th and 5th Graders attended Folk Fair at State Fair Park. This was a part of our culture inquiry. Each student has chosen a culture to research, with the goal of creating a presentation and a written piece to share before winter break. Our experience at the fair included: dance, food, cultural exhibits, music and a market place full of products from different countries and cultures.

Celebrating Different Cultures

Hello Team Believe Families!

Last week, we were able to have a museum walk in our 4th/5th grade hallway to celebrate the holidays of Day of the Dead, Obon, and Halloween. We worked to compare and contrast the different traditions and to learn more about their cultural roots. As activities, we wrote letter to our ancestors, made Obon lanterns, and made sugar skulls to commemorate Day of the Dead. Check out some of the fun pictures below!
