States Day

Thursday, June 28,  we had the State Day where student groups went "visiting” all of the states. Each of us, like in real life traveling, got a passport, which we decorated. In every state there was something we would write on the state’s page, getting special traveling stamps or stickers in return. The event was really interesting, and we got to know a lot of new things about the states. It was a pity we only could stay for 10 minutes in each state, but all of the teachers managed to make those 10 minutes both fun and educational.

Wisconsin

Kathy told us different facts about cows, because there are a lot of them in Wisconsin – for example, her neighbor has 250! We wrote the most interesting ones down and were free to go.

Virginia

Maggie showed us a video about the Tomb of the Unknown Soldier. We wrote down one fact each about VA and got our stickers.

Hawaii

Nancy told us about Hawaii Islands. The biggest one is Hawaii, where an active volcano is located.

South Dakota

Tim told us about Mount Rushmore, and about the presidents whose faces are carved in this mountain. 

Wyoming

Erick’s theme was nature. He showed us a video about Yellowstone National Park, and the supervolcano beneath it.

California

To get in the Joan’s class we had to go through the passport control. She asked us about why we were visiting, and whether we had anything in our luggage that was not allowed to take over the border.
