Today we celebrated Kenya Connect. The entire fifth grade class raised over $2000 to help Sophia Primary School in Kenya. Congratulations to all the fifth graders. We are very proud of them all! To raise that much money, they read a multitude of books.
We spent time this morning traveling through stations, learning about Kenya. Mrs. Hurt shared her experiences and pictures of Africa. Mrs. Lapham set up a Kenya marketplace in her room where students could experience the art of bartering. Mrs. Yaniz taught all the 5th graders how to play Mancala and Mrs. Potempa helped them write a poem about Kenya. I was in charge of recording it all in photographs.
