Country of Origin

As part of Madi's social science curriculum, they did a unit on cultural diversity. Today they had their culminating activity - a Thanksgiving program celebrating each child's country of origin. The kids were to learn about their country of origin, draw the flag, and come up with an interesting fact about it. Madi did her research, and with the help of her dad, came up with a great fact. Madi's line was "My name is Madi Jenkins. My country of Origin is Wales. One interesting thing I learned about Wales is that it is known as the land of song. Some of the best singers and choirs are from Wales."

She also had the closing line, "Thank you for coming to our performance! We hope you enjoyed it!"

Then they all got to enjoy foods from all the different lands. We made Ann Romney's Welsh Skillet Cakes to share.

Love how Elle's eyeing all the yummy treats! It was quite the feast!

 Madi with the Wales flag:

Take another look at that amazing flag that Spencer free handed!! He's got some serious talent! Then Madi traced his outline with a black sharpie and colored it all in.

Madi was super excited to have daddy there!! Spence surprised us last night and came home early, His trial was continued until another date.

And what a treat to have Boppi join us!!
