Towards the end of our homeschooling year, our co-op hosted an International Festival. Each family had the opportunity to choose a country to study and create a display to share. The Sanchez and Candelaria team paired up and decided to prepare a presentation on Germany. Both Denise and Grandma Cindy have lived in German and were able to provide our display with genuine German items.
Denise is so amazing and planned some awesome group crafts for the kiddos. She took the time to share unique facts with them that they all found really interesting.
After all the fun of learning about Germany, Denise let us feed, touch and (in Gabriella's case) hold Larry, her bearded dragon.
When it came time to present, they each shared one fact about Germany.
We also got the chance to make something tasty to share and for that portion of the project, Grandma Cindy was our hero. She ordered apfelstrudel, a classic German apple strudel, from a local bakery and picked up German chocolates for us to share. Josiah was persistent about helping place the chocolates in tiny muffin cups. I'm sure we all know why. :) I lost count of how many he snuck.
We had a great time not only sharing the information we gained but also learning about all kinds of other interesting countries.
