Alden Terrace School students celebrated countries and cultures around the world during International Day on May 21.
Each grade-level was assigned a different country to research its culture, currency, cuisine and more, with many locations coinciding with their in-class curriculum. Pre-K students had Japan, kindergarteners had the United States, first graders had Italy, second graders had Kenya, third graders had Brazil, fourth graders had the Netherlands, fifth graders had Mexico, sixth graders had Turkey and ABA students had Egypt.
The students collaborated on hallway and classroom displays, inviting families in to view projects and presentations.
As part of International Day, the entire school community also collaborated on a “Let the World Be Your Bookmark” bulletin display. Faculty, students, custodians, cafeteria staff and families shared key facts and details about their native countries and traditions. This project helped to promote inclusivity and community.
