Today the students wowed me with just how much they had gotten done while I was away. They finished their promotional posters, and created their classroom cultural quilt. The quilt shows how each student likes to dress, have fun, celebrate family traditions, and eat his or her favorite foods.
The quilt will be used to compare and contrast our cultures with those of our classmates and the children of Pakistan and Afghanistan.
The posters will be placed around the school to remind students, staff and parents to bring in their pennies to donate to the Central Asia Institute.
Today we decorated our Pennies for Peace containers and wrote our script for morning and afternoon announcements about the campaign. We hope to visit each classroom at the school very briefly to show students what the containers look like and remind them about where they are located.
We are in the process of finding a local corporate sponsor who will allow us to leave one of our penny containers, along with a poster, inside the sponsor's business.
On Friday, we will finish decorating our quilt and look at the differences and similarities between our cultures.
We now have an email address to which you can send any questions or suggestions: lurawhiteforpeace@yahoo.com.
