A Small Part of the World & Immigration Day

On March 6th, Kaylyn had her yearly musical performance. This year's theme was A Small Part of the World. It went along perfectly with the students lesson on immigration. Mrs. Luhrs did a wonderful job teaching the kids the songs and their parts. It's always so much fun watching.

Kaylyn had a speaking part again this year...

And she did a great job!

This is most of Kaylyn's 5th grade class.

The next day was Immigration Day at school. It was so much fun to see the kids dress in outfits that represented the country they immigrated from. Kaylyn studied her Korean heritage and even dressed in traditional Korean dress. All of the kids had to participate in order to receive their visa to come into the country.

I had the opportunity to sit at the Visa desk and ask questions of the students (their full name, what country they were born in, what their nationality was and who they planned on visiting in the United States). Either they passed with flying colors or I got to deport them.

After everyone passed all of the stations, we had a huge lunch that featured foods from all of the countries that the students represented.

Kaylyn went for the chicken...

Kaylyn's grandmother made egg rolls.

She also went for the Italian food...

Our fifth grade year at Hawks Rise is quickly coming to an end, but I enjoy being able to participate in all of the festivities that we have left. The teachers and students worked so hard on everything for this day and it all turned out perfect!
