Diversity Day

Braxton writing down answers to questions about Mexico.

Parker thought Diversity Day deserved a thumbs up!

One class did Egypt and had these set up for picture taking opportunities.


I didn't think about it at the time, but this one was the Egyptian woman and all three of them stuck their heads in this one instead of trying out the Egyptian man. Hee, hee.

Saturday was Diversity Day at Braxton's school. Each class chooses a country to transform their classroom into. They serve authentic food and try to wear something they would wear in that country as well. The students have their "Passports" with three questions for each country which they find the answer to in the classrooms, write it down and then receive a stamp on their passport. It's always a fun and interesting day at the school though Braxton never makes it to every country. This is our third year of doing it and nothing has changed. He gets bored after about five. However, when he was in kindergarten it was more of a painful process to try to get him to find the answers and write them down when he could barely read or write!
