International Week!

Last week was International week at The Fulton School.  Every student from pre K through 12th grade did a project over a specific country.  The students then presented what they had learned in front of the entire school. 

Abby presented her project on Mexico on Monday.  Duke made tamales for her to share and Meme found some 'authentic' Mexican items like a sombrero, a Mexican satchel and a fan.
Abby was so proud of her poster

Ben's project was over Peru.  We made Tres Leches cake to share with the school, and Meme and Papaw came through again with a real Peruvian Alpaca-wool sweater, South American eating tools and even a cute little stuffed Alpaca!  Ben took the project VERY seriously.  He memorized his entire presentation and he got so many compliments from everyone.
   
So proud of his hard work

These were the very first 'real' school projects for either Ben or Abby.  I thought they both did an incredible job on them. I am such a proud Momma!!
